  5. Introduction and Burst Assembly in OBS

  6. QoS Issues in OBS • Burst Loss Rate is high • Need for Highly Effective Contention Resolution • Lack of QoS support in the Core Network • Further Service Differentiation required in core network • Lack of practical and simple methods to provide QoS • Certain proposals to resolve contention are too complex to implement and may hinder network performance

  7. QoS Issues in OBS

  8. Performance Parameters in OBS • Throughput (Mbps) • Throughput = (Bytes Received * 8) / 106 • End-to-End Delay (ms) • Tdelay = Tassembly + Toffset + Tprop + Tdisassembly + Tswitch • Tdisassemblyand Tswitch are negligible • Burst Loss Rate • P (burst loss) = 1 – (Burst Recv / Burst Sent) • Goodput • Ratio of packets that reach destination within their delay requirements

  9. Previous QoS proposals • Relative QoS based Solutions • Performance of the network is not guaranteed in quantitative terms • High priority burst loss < low priority burst loss. All based on traffic load • Easy implementation • Absolute QoS based Solutions • Performance of the network is guaranteed in quantitative terms (worst case scenario) • Hard guarantee offers expected level of performance • Complex implementation

  10. Emission and Discard Priority (EDP) Scheme • We introduce the concept of Emission and Discard Priority (EDP) to provide QoS in the OBS network • Emission Priority • Provides Static QoS at the edge • Based on delay tolerance of packets • Discard Priority • Extended service differentiation in the core • Provides Dynamic QoS in the core • Based delay tolerance and loss sensitivity of packets

  15. Performance Objectives • Improve Goodput of deflection routing in the OBS network • Increase throughput • Meet delay requirements • Eliminate unnecessary deflections • Validate the use of deflection routing in OBS

  16. Simulation Setup • Simulation tools • Ns2 Simulator • OBS-0.9a module • Assumptions • No Wavelength Conversion • JET used as reservation scheme • LAUC-VF used for scheduling • Uniform distribution of delay tolerance • Aggregated Pareto traffic sources • Variable-timer based assembly

  24. Conclusion • We implemented an EDP scheme for simple QoS support in OBS • Deflection with EDP scheme improved the goodput of deflection routing • Deflection with EDP scheme outperformed normal deflection at high loads • High throughput was maintained while meeting delay requirements • Deflection routing with the EDP scheme is suitable to support wavelength conversion for contention resolution in OBS networks
