The optical Internet is considered as a feasible solution for transporting huge amount of traffic volume in the future Internet. Among optical switching technology for the optical Internet, OBS becomes one of the most promoting solution. Recently, a lebeled OBS(LOBS) architecture is considered for an efficient control on OBS network. Given that a data burst may contain few thousands of IP packets, a single loss of data burst results in a serious throughput degradation in LOBS network. In this paper, we improve the performance of LOBS network by introducing the burst congestion control mechanism. More specifically, the OBS router at the network core detects the network congestion by measuring the loss probability of burst control packet. The OBS router at the network edge reduces the burst generation according to the network condition repored by the OBS router at the network core. Through the simulations, it is shown that the proposed congestion control mechanism can reduce the burst loss probability and improve the LOBS network throughput.

The transmission performance of optical labeling based on a combined frequency shift keying/amplitude shift keying (FSK/ASK) format is studied by numerical simulation. The simulation demonstrates that the bit-error ratio (BER) characteristic of an ASK signal is limited by the extinction ratio, received optical power, and dispersion, simultaneously. However, an FSK signal is mainly limited by the extinction ratio (ER) and received optical power when the peak spectrum, which is used to detect the FSK signal, is relatively narrow.
