Provisionamento Automático de Conexões Determinísticas para Redes GOBS

Abstract: This paper proposes an architecture for the automatic establishment of connections that match the performance constraints for grid applications. This architecture is based on optical burst switching and on the utilization of protocols with traffic engineering functionalities. It propose an element called GOBS (Grid Optical Burst Switching) Server that stores and collects information about grid metrics and network resources and helps in the calculation of deterministic routes. Simulations show that the proposal is able to minimize the burst blocking, thus guaranteeing the established service levels, and it allowing better utilization of the grid and network resources.
