OPTICAL BURST SWITCHING PROTOCOLS IN ALL-OPTICAL NETWORKS

Abstract

In this paper, all optical network's  general structure  is briefly described  and all optical network's optical switching methods is concantrated on. All  optical network's  classification is presented according to switching methods  and burst switching methods studied carefully.The protocols which are defined for burst switching are studied. One of these protocols JET (Just-Enough-Time) which is mostly studied, is introduced. And the other protocol JIT (Just-In-Time) is presented detailly. The main aim of this study is explaining the all optical network's working mechanism generally, and examine the processing structure  of JIT protocol.

Keywords

• Optical Burst Switching, Optical Packet Switching, JIT Protocol
