Abstract:

An economical fault detection method, employing cycle cover theory, is proposed in terms of costly sing-hop test module in meshed optical burst switching (OBS) networks. Three kinds of cycle cover finding algorithms, heuristic depth first searching (HDFS), shortest path Eulerian matching (SPEM) and Heuristic spanning-tree (HST) based cycle finding, are used to find cycle cover for meshed OBS networks. Then a probe module is assigned for each cycle, and a fault detection mechanism based on probe cycle cover is formed. The computation and statistic results show that the proposed mechanism can reduce the cost of fault detection deeply compared to single-hop test scheme in meshed OBS networks.

Key words: optical burst switching (OBS), fault detection, cycle cover, all-optical network, probe burst
