In optical burst switching (OBS) networks, the contention of optical bursts is the most serious problem due to the lack of buffers within the networks. Various deflection routing schemes and a routing scheme based on pre-calculated multiple paths have been proposed to resolve the contention. The latter routing scheme can successfully maintain a relatively limited transfer delay of optical bursts. This paper proposes a new decentralized routing scheme based on multiple paths to effectively resolve the contention of optical bursts. In this scheme, each source node splits the traffic load into pre-calculated multiple paths adaptively according to the measured loss rate of the optical bursts transferred through each path. This scheme does not require frequent notification of the measured loss rate because each source node selects one of the multiple paths probabilistically. In the OBS networks, the average transfer delay in the multi-path routing always exceeds that in a single-path routing because alternative paths with a larger transfer delay are also utilized in the multi-path routing. Thus, this paper proposes an adaptive load splitting method in which load splitting ratios for the multiple paths are autonomously adjusted to minimize the average transfer delay based on the condition that the required loss rate of optical bursts is satisfied. The performance of the proposed scheme was evaluated by computer simulation and based on the evaluation results; the ability of the proposed scheme to adjust the load splitting ratios for the multiple paths autonomously and avoid the contention of optical bursts adaptively is clarified even if the traffic load applied to the OBS network changes.
