Abstract

In this paper we present a novel adaptive routing strategy for OBS networks aimed at balancing global network load, in order to reduce overall burst loss probability. This strategy dynamically balances load in the output links of core nodes according to local congestion information. The results provided show a significant reduction in the load imbalancement of the links in the network, as well as a lower burst loss probability.
