  • Abstract
    We propose and evaluate a novel scheme, referred to as bimodal burst switching (BBS) scheme, for optical burst switching (OBS) star networks, which can be used in grid networks. The main feature of this scheme is that it has zero burst loss and a large geographical coverage. Using simulation techniques we show that the proposed scheme provides high bandwidth and outperforms OBS
