The principle goal of this proposal is to build a reconfigurable Optical Burst Switching (OBS) testbed that integrates the world's first commercial optical burst switch with a reconfigurable control plane. The insights and experiences obtained from the testbed will be of great value in developing the OBS network into a commercially viable solution for the next generation Internet. The key aspects of the proposed testbed are summarized as W4:What is the proposed testbed ? An OBS testbed utilizing commercially available EtherBurst Optical switches and FPGA based reconfigurable control plane.Who can benefit from the proposed testbed ? The testbed will benefit the PI, as well as the OBS research community by allowing remote users to run real experiments using a remote laboratory interface. It also encourages students and industrial participation.Why an OBS testbed is in need ? Theoretical and simulation based analysis cannot fully capture the characteristics of real traffic, which has non-negligible impact on the performance of the OBS network. In addition, simulation will not address the practical implementation issues in building ultra high speed OBS routers.When can the proposed testbed be in operation ?The testbed can be in operation after initial configuration. Dynamically reconfigurable control plane is deployed incrementally over a working system.The proposed testbed will enable research projects that are not feasible otherwise. In addition, the proposed testbed can be potentially made available to OBS research community worldwide through a Remote Laboratory Interface (RLI) developed through the NSF funded Open Network Laboratory (ONL) project.

本提案的主要目标是建立一个可重构光突发交换（OBS）测试平台，该平台集成了世界上第一个商用光突发交换机和可重构控制平面。从试验台获得的见解和经验将对将OBS网络发展成为下一代互联网的商业可行解决方案具有重要价值。建议的测试平台的关键方面总结为W4：建议的测试平台是什么？利用市售EtherBurst光交换机和基于FPGA的可重构控制平面的OBS测试平台。谁能从提议的测试平台中受益？通过允许远程用户使用远程实验室接口运行真实的实验，该试验台将使PI以及OBS研究社区受益。它还鼓励学生和行业的参与。为什么需要OBS测试平台？基于理论和仿真的分析不能完全捕捉到真实流量的特征，对OBS网络的性能有着不可忽视的影响。此外，仿真不能解决构建超高速OBS路由器的实际实现问题。建议的试验台何时可以投入使用？初步配置后，试验台即可投入使用。动态可重构控制平面在工作系统上增量部署。拟议的试验台将使研究项目成为可能，否则是不可行的。此外，通过美国国家科学基金会资助的开放网络实验室（ONL）项目开发的远程实验室接口（RLI），提议的试验台可以潜在地提供给全球OBS研究社区。
