Abstract
In this paper we introduce a generic burst reordering model and analytically evaluate the reordering characteristic on both burst and packet layer in an OBS network. We apply the packet reordering definition and reordering metrics newly specified by IETF IPPM WG for precise characterization of burst and packet reordering. The results of this analysis give a first insight into the quantitative reordering characteristic on the burst and packet layers.
