This paper proposes a methodology to compare scheduling algorithms for congestion resolution in Optical Burst Switching or Optical Packet Switching networks, focusing on the issue of wavelength conversion capabilities. The performance of such algorithms when full wavelength conversion is available at the switching nodes are compared with the case of conversion capabilities over a limited range of wavelengths. The results presented show that limited range wavelength conversion is not necessarily performing worse than full wavelength conversion, as long as the correct terms of comparison are considered.

Abstract
This paper proposes a methodology to compare scheduling algorithms for congestion resolution in Optical Burst Switching or Optical Packet Switching networks, focusing on the issue of wavelength conversion capabilities. The performance of such algorithms when full wavelength conversion is available at the switching nodes are compared with the case of conversion capabilities over a limited range of wavelengths. The results presented show that limited range wavelength conversion is not necessarily performing worse than full wavelength conversion, as long as the correct terms of comparison are considered.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
