The authors start with an overview of OBS architecture, then categorize and discuss existing QoS support in OBS including relative and absolute models, mechanisms for supporting multiple traffic classes, edge-to-edge provisioning, and other non-mainstream mechanisms. Optical networking professionals will find the literature review as an up-to-date coverage of topics which is both timely and helpful. ER -
