Abstract

In this paper we propose a novel architecture for the control plane of an application aware Optical Burst Switching (OBS) network, able to support Grid computing applications. We suggest the use of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to implement a protocol layer between the Grid specific control messages and the network control plane. The proposed architecture was implemented in an existing OBS network testbed and was successfully tested as described in the paper.
