This paper proposes a new distributed wavelength-routed optical burst switching (WR-OBS) network architecture and two corresponding control protocols. By taking advantage of merits from both just. enough time (JET) protocol and two-way signaling method, this new control architecture outperforms traditional JET OBS network in points of burst loss probability, system throughput and centralized WR-OBS network in network scalability confirmed by computer simulations. Further simulation is developed to compare the performance of the two control protocols, which leads to instructive discussion in real WR-OBS network design.
