In optical burst switching, offset time is the time between the burst header/control packet. The offset time used in one-way reservation schemes allows the network time to schedule the burst and set-up resources prior to burst arrival is sent into the network. The offset time can be varied to allow the network time to configure based on the information carried in the burst header packet. By varying the offset time, different levels of quality of service can be provided.
Famous quotes containing the word time:
“Ladies and gents. The time has passed. The time has passed. Got to be a better way. I say to you, can’t any longer, oh no, can’t any longer, play off black against old, young against poor.
This country cannot house its houseless. Feed its foodless. They’re demanding a government of the people. Peopled by people. Our faith. Our compassion. Our courage on the gridiron. The basic
indifference that made this country great.”
—Jeremy Larner, U.S. screenwriter, and Michael Ritchie. Bill McKay (Robert Redford)
