Method and system for administration of a data burst - throughput of an optical network with a burst circuit

摘要

Managing a data burst throughput of an Optical Burst Switching (OBS) network (100). A setup time is determined based on a probability (Pi) that a burst at a core node (102) of the OBS network (100) was sent by an edge node (104a, 104b) coupled to the core node (102). An effective wavelength utilization (ρλ) is determined based on the set up time. The blocking probability (P) for the core node (102) is determined based on the effective wavelength utilization (ρλ).
