Abstract

QoS support and network survivability are crucial issues in optical burst switched (OBS) networks to form a smooth transition toward next generation optical Internet. This paper presents a QoS-based restoration mechanism for OBS networks based on offset time extensions. Simulation studies verified the role of the offset time in the restoration mechanism and its attitudinal character to define QoS levels
