We consider optical delay line buffer as a solution to reduce the number of lost burst in optical burst switching, one of the promising candidates for future networks. Such network takes burst loss as an important performance criteria in the design step. Network performance, however, cannot be captured efficiently using traditional queueing models, because they often ignore the impatience of messages traveling through optical switches which is one of the popular issues in communication networks. In this paper, we develop an analytic model for this system using queueing theory and considering special impatience features. Simulation results show that (i) the developed model with impatience features can decrease burst loss probability (similar or equal to 10%) compared with other approaches, and (ii) applying that model, we demonstrate that shared buffer architecture in optical burst switching network with optical buffer often achieves lower burst loss probability than dedicated buffer way in several different scenarios.
