"A congestion control scheme called dual-layer congestion control (DLCC) is proposed for use when transporting Internet traffic over optical-packet-switched networks. It further reduces the core optical buffering requirement over existing proposals; indeed each optical core switch is assumed in the modeling work to have a shared optical buffering capacity of only 20 optical packets for all ports," scientists in the United Kingdom report.
"Furthermore, it does not depend for its operation on having a certain number of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) flows carried over each link. The scheme is designed to operate in conjunction with an edge-smoothing algorithm ...
