AbstractIn this tutorial, we give an introduction to optical burst switching (OBS) networks and compare different methods that have been given to improve performance of these networks. OBS is an alternative to optical circuit switching and optical packet switching by separating data from control packets and sending them in a different wavelength. OBS networks suffer from an issue based on their bufferless nature, burst contentions. In these networks, when two data bursts are competing on the same wavelength, one of them is dropped and it leads to a significant reduction on the performance of the network. A lot of researches have been done to solve this problem. Some of them are addressed in this paper.
