Contention Resolution in OBS
• Burst loss possible due to bufferless statistical multiplexing
• Application of OBS in high-speed metro/core networks
➥ lost data has to be retransmitted on end-to-end basis not locally
➥ very low burst loss probability required (e.g., 10-6)
➥ Need for highly effective contention resolution
• Wavelength domain
wavelength conversion
- very effective as all WDM channels shared among all bursts
- but: low burst loss probabilities only for ≥ 100 λs
➥ additional schemes necessary
• Time domain
fiber delay lines (FDLs)
• Space domain
deflection/alternative routing
➥ Optimized combination of these schemes

Admission Control
Circuit Switching
Traditional Solution is not feasible for many new applications due to:
• Variable bitrate sources (burst traffic)
• Overhead for connection management (delay, state management, ...)
• Integration of many services with quite different characteristics
• Inflexibility with respect to adaptation to application requirements
• Cost
