Traffic shapping trends in optical packet/burst switching networks

This paper surveys a set of relevant techniques proposed for traffic shaping in backbone OBS/OPS networks. The work is intended to fuel the near future research in the topic the authors will conduct within BONE project. Keywords: traffic shaping, traffic conditioning, OPS, OBS.This research has been supported by the BONE-project ("Building the Future Optical Network in Europe”), a Network of Excellence funded by the European Commission through the 7th ICT-Framework Program, the support of MEC project TEC2007-67966-01/TCM CON-PARTE-1, and it is also developed in the framework of "Programa de Ayudas a Grupos de Excelencia de la Región de Murcia, de la Fundación Séneca, Agencia de Ciencia y Tecnología de la RM (Plan Regional de Ciencia y Tecnología 2007/2010)
