Hemlata Rauthan, Ashish Verma, Gaganpreet Kaur . Congestion Control Strategy in Optical Burst Switching Networks. International Journal of Computer Applications. 91, 17 ( April 2014), 33-37. DOI=10.5120/16104-5380
Optical burst switching (OBS) is developed as an alternative switching technology, which contains advantages of both Optical circuit switching (OCS) and Optical packet switching (OPS). The most important design goal in Optical Burst Switching (OBS) networks is to minimize the congestion in the network as a result of resource contention. This paper will propose a mathematical model using Erlang's B formula to calculate the congestion in the optical burst switching network. Results show that with the increase in the value of congestion, blocking probability also increases but its effect is negligibly small. The results will prove that this strategy is better than the conventional techniques. Note: Simulation is done using MATLAB software.
