next-generation Internet backbone networks. The main objectives of the dissertation
was to provide fairness from various aspects, including rate and distance fairness, to
OBS networks without degrading the loss probability or throughput.
  This dissertation proposes a rate fairness preemption (RFP) scheme to achieve
max-min fair bandwidth allocation (FBA) or rate fairness in OBS networks. Core
switches in RFP do not need to have a function for monitoring both the arrival and
loss rates of flows. Methods of adaptive and fixed max-min rate allocation are
introduced. RFP based on fixed max-min rate allocation is the simplest way of
achieving max-min FBA in OBS networks because it does not require any additional
control message to update the arrival or fairly allocated rates as required by existing
FBA schemes. A discrete-time Markov chain-based model for analysis of the burst
loss probability for flows in RFP-based OBS networks is proposed. The performance
of RFP was demonstrated through both analyses and simulations.
  In addition, this dissertation proposes a technique of deflection routing (DR),
called max-min DR (MMDR), to reduce losses when max-min FBA is achieved in
OBS networks. The proposed DR strategy can be adapted to preemption-based and
rate-control-based FBA schemes. In this research, we integrated MMDR with RFP
and derived a new scheme called rate fairness preemption with deflection routing
(RFP-DR). The simulation results indicate that RFP-DR can isolate and protect
services as RFP does, but RFP-DR yields the lower total burst loss probability.
  Although FBA can be achieved in OBS networks, the actual transmission rate of
flows not only depends on the fairly allocated rate but also its burst loss probability
due to the high-loss characteristic of OBS. The burst loss probability of flows in OBS
networks tends to increase with larger hop counts. Therefore, rate fairness or FBA
should be provided with distance fairness (fairness among flows with different hop
counts) so that we can achieve real fairness in the sense of fair transmission rates.
Consequently, this dissertation introduces a rate and distance fairness preemption
(RDFP) scheme to achieve max-min FBA while ensuring distance fairness for traffic
transmitted under the max-min rate.
  The analytical and simulation results indicate that the proposed schemes
effectively solve fairness problems in OBS networks without degrading the total
burst loss probability. In addition, the proposed schemes are simple enough to
implement in practical networks because of their low computational complexity., 総研大甲第1289号}, title = {Fairness Provisioning in Optical Burst Switching Networks}, year = {} }
