Abstract

We propose a new optical hybrid switching solution that takes advantage of both Optical Burst Switching (OBS) and Optical Circuit Switching (OCS) technologies, namely, HyLABS (Hybrid Lightpath and Burst Switching). HyLABS uses static program optimized technology and dynamic switching between OCS and OBS, for network environment with uncertain and high bursty traffic demand. Our study shows that HyLABS can minimize packet loss ratio comparing with OCS.
