A Resource Reservation Protocol With Linear Traffic Prediction For Obs Networks, Ioannis Karamitsos, Chris Bowerman

John P. Karamitsos

This paper addresses the issue of providing resource reservation mechanism for OBS networks. We propose a linear prediction mechanism based on least mean square (LMS) method to reduce the burst delay at edge nodes. A reservation method is proposed to increase the reservation probability and to improve the delay reduction performance.
