%X An analysis is carried out with burst-switching optical networks which use label processing consisting of orthogonal optical codes (OOC), considering traffic characteristics such as length/duration and arrival rate of bursts. Main results show that the use of OOC label processing influences on the decrease of burst loss probability, especially for short-lived bursts. Therefore, short bursts that would be blocked in conventional electronic processing networks are transmitted when the OOC label processing is used. Thus, an increase in the network use occurs as well as a decrease in the burst transmission latency, reaching a granularity close to packets networks.
