A dynamic wavelength management in an optical burst switching system
guarantees QoS by using wavelength resources effectively and using only a
basic offset time for guaranteeing a specified blocking loss rate without
incurring any additional delay. A control header packet and data having a
plurality of wavelengths are fed to a core node asynchronously, and the
control header packet is processed in a control plane, during which a
wavelength group list is created corresponding to a number of classes and
the respective group list is dynamically reconstructed corresponding to
each QoS group.
