Abstract(in English) In recent years, the mismatch between huge transmission capacity of optical fibers based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology and routing/forwarding capability of electronic routers has triggered many research activities on optical switching technologies. Optical burst switching (OBS) has been receiving increased attention as a promising technology for building the next-generation optical Internet. This paper presents the design and implementation of an overlay mode optical burst-switched network testbed. First, a flexible "transceiver + forwarding" edge node architecture is proposed to perform both electronic burst assembly/disassembly and optical burst forwarding. It is designed to provide class of service and wavelength selection for local generated bursts, and transparency to cut-through bursts. Then, the functional modules of the control plane and related key design issues are presented, including signaling and a scheduling mechanism with combined contention resolution in space and wavelength domains. Finally, experimental results are reported and future directions are discussed.
