Abstract
This paper presents a performance analysis of optical burst switching (OBS) networks with ring and chordal ring topologies. The performance analysis considers signaling protocols with one-way reservation schemes, being focused on the following protocols: just-in-time (JIT), Jumpstart, JIT+, just-enough-time (JET) and Horizon. It is shown that for a network with 20 nodes, the nodal degree gain due to the increase of nodal degree from two (ring) to three (chordal ring) is about three orders of magnitude in the first hop of both topologies, and is between two and three orders of magnitude in the last hop of each topology. It is also shown that the largest chord length gain, in a 20-node OBS network with a chordal ring topology, is slightly less than two orders of magnitude.
