Abstract :
This paper evaluates and compares the performance of Grid over Optical Burst Switching (OBS) networks employing Active routers. Two signaling reservation schemes are considered: the Just Enough Time (JET) and a centrally controlled Wavelength Routed (WR) scheme. Analysis and simulation results show that the centrally controlled WR-OBS signaling scheme always outperforms the JET-OBS scheme in terms of job blocking rate and the time delay that a job suffers until it reaches the Grid service provider.
