Design and Implementation of LOBS-HC Network Simulation Platform
LOBS-HC 网络仿真平台设计与实现

The paper discusses the structure of the network based on LOBS-HC （labeled optical burst switching with home circuits）, a newly proposed optical switching technology that can provide bandwidth guarantee and increase the utilization of wavelength bandwidth. Based on Visual C＋＋, we design and implement a LOBS-HC based network simulation platform with some core processes, such as traffic flow generation and convergence, burst assembly, and logical HC link establishment and release. Finally, the performance of the LOBS-HC based network is evaluated in terms of throughput, delay, wavelength utilization etc. The simulation results show that LOBS-HC-based network achieves higher bandwidth utilization than the network based on OCS （optical circuit switching） with the same bandwidth guarantee.
