Abstract
A new and promising switching paradigm optical burst switching (OBS) is introduced. We describe the basic concept and principle of OBS then present the network and node architecture of OBS. By comparing it with wavelength routing and optical packet switching, we summarize the advantage of OBS. Finally, problems to be resolved in OBS is pointed out.
