RT Conference Proceedings T1 A simulation-based study of TCP performance over an Optical Burst Switched backbone with 802.11 access A1 Martínez Yelmo, Isaías A1 Soto Campos, Ignacio A1 Larrabeiti López, David A1 Guerrero López, María Carmen AB The combined effect of optical and wireless subnetworks in an hypothetical future scenario where core networks have evolved to the still prototype Optical Burst Switching (OBS) technology is an open research issue. This paper studies this hybrid scenario, in the particular case of 802.11 access, by reviewing the key aspects of OBS and 802.11 with an impact on the performance of TCP, and makes a simulation-based assessment of the relative influence of both technologies over the effective end-to-end behaviour of TCP.
