Abstract
In this letter, we analyze the drawback of tail-dropping contention resolution in optical burst switched networks. Once contention occurs, we adopt modified head-dropping policy to resolve contention. This policy drops the head of the contending burst only if the overlapping region of the two bursts is less than the whole contending burst size, otherwise drops the whole contending burst. In order to have a better support of differentiated service, a new burst assembly policy, namely, Priority-based proportional mixed burst assembly, is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme performs very well in terms of performance metrics such as the times of contention and packet loss probability.
