Abstract
We have shown in previous studies that the transmission of traffic with heavy-tail characteristics (e.g. Pareto) may be eased by segregation into separate wavelengths, according with the holding time. Burst segregation among n wavelengths (n x M/P/1) in the core of the optical burst network may yield better performance than in classical WDM systems (M/P/n) in terms of the residual lifetim…
