In this paper, we focus on burst routing strategies and performances in the all optical slotted network investigated by the ROMeO French RNRT project. When routing a burst with a deflection routing strategy the burst (i.e., a sequence of slots to be routed contiguously) can be cut when it is inserted in the network or when the deflection routing decision is not the same for all its slots. We first evaluate the performances of a simple shortest path routing strategy for bursts considering different traffic loads. Then, we propose and compare different routing strategies proposed in the ROMeO project in terms of burst integrity, delay and jitter.
