The arrival process of packets is assumed to be Poisson or bursty modeled by an Interrupted Poisson Process (IPP). The analytic results are approximate and validation against simulation data showed that they have good accuracy.}, number={3}, journal={COMPUTER NETWORKS}, author={Mountrouidou, Xenia and Perros, Harry}, year={2009}, month={Feb}, pages={247–264} } @inbook{mountrouidou_perros_2006, title={Characterization of the burst aggregation process in optical burst switching}, volume={3976}, DOI={10.1007/11753810_63}, abstractNote={We describe an analytic approach for the calculation of the departure process from a burst ggregation algorithm that uses both a timer and maximum/minimum burst size.

The main feature of this scheme is that it has zero burst loss and a large geographical coverage. Using simulation techniques we show that the proposed scheme provides high bandwidth and outperforms OBS}, journal={2ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BROADBAND NETWORKS (BROADNETS 2005)}, author={Mountrouidou, Xenia and Perros, Harry G. and Beshai, Maged}, year={2005}, pages={515-+} }
