Abstract

This article provides a new scheme for the blocking probability evaluation for optical burst switching networks. While several previous articles used mainly links as servers, we consider switches as servers. In order to evaluate the blocking probability at switches, we use the effective bandwidth method. The method shows more accurate results and the accuracy of the method is proven by simulation and numerical analyses.
