Abstract
In this paper end-to-end performance is evaluated when multiple high-speed access networks, based on the Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) technology, are interconnected through an Optical Burst Switching (OBS) core network. The inter-working unit, or edge node, between these two different networks is properly studied and discussed. A time-based burst assembly algorithm is assumed, which is analyzed and dimensionedto cope with multiple EPONs. The role of a key parameter,such as the EPON cycle time used in the multiple access scheme,is assessed. Transport layer performance of the multi-EPON/OBSnetwork is evaluated through simulations with ns2. Results showthat the relationship between the EPON cycle time and the burstassembly time has a fundamental role and requires proper tuningto optimize, e.g., the TCP throughput.
