ABSTRACT

The next generation internet requires a new methodology to meet the evolving techniques and economise the network traffic in optical network. Solution is obtained through Optical Burst Switched Networks.OBS needs developments in service differentiation and contention resolution as it retards the support of OBS in internet traffic. Using Serialization of Burst Traffic Load and service differentiation provided by various service classes, this can be achieved. Since serialization has the advantage of lesser drops and service classes the have the advantage of pre-empting earlier packet for a higher priority packet both can used together for a better result.
