Abstract
Performance studies point to the fact that in an OBS network, the link utilization has to be kept very low in order for the burst loss probability to be within an acceptable level. Various congestion control schemes have been proposed, such as the use of converters, fiber delay lines, and deflection routing. However, these schemes do not alleviate this problem. It is our position that in order for OBS to become commercially viable, new schemes have to be devised that will either guarantee zero burst loss, or very low burst loss at high utilization. In a previous paper [1.], we described effective zero burst loss schemes for OBS rings. In this paper, we present a zero burst loss scheme for star OBS topologies. Further research into the topic is required.
