Abstract :
Dependability is a crucial issue in future optical packet switched (OPS) networks. In this paper, we present the rationale for a dependability differentiated OPS network. A general model that supports orthogonal differentiation of performance related and dependability related quality-of-service parameters as well as an example of how to differentiate dependability is presented.
