Abstract :
We consider the problem of providing absolute QoS guarantees to multiple classes of users of an OBS network in terms of the end-to-end burst loss. We employ Markov decision process (MDP) theory to develop wavelength sharing policies that maximize throughput while meeting the QoS guarantees. The randomized threshold policies we obtain are simple to implement and operate, and make effective use of statistical multiplexing.
