Abstract

This paper addresses the burstification interval scaling problem when the timer-based burstification mechanisms, including the periodic and the nonperiodic alternatives, are employed. We investigate the impact of the burstification interval on the burst traffic characteristics in terms of the data burst inter-arrival time and the data burst length, respectively. An analytical model is developed to evaluate the burst delay at the edge node of the OBS-enabled WDM backbone. Numerical and simulation results have justified our analysis.
