Abstract

Optical flow routing is an optical networks that technique used to ensure that the packet is always in the sequence order. This research is intended to ensure that the network traffic is enhanced of the quality of service (QoS). An analytical method is used in order to show its effectiveness of flow routing. There are three cases that have been investigated in this research investigation namely, packet discards (PD), flow discards (FD) and early flow discards (EFD). The performance metric through put indicated 20% improvement for early flow discards (EFD) compared to conventional PD by using optical flow routing.

 

Key words: Optical flow routing, packet discard, flow discard and early flow discard.
