Claim:
1. An implement method of resource reservation protocol with multi-services convergence transmission for optical burst switching networks, comprising the steps of: (A) dividing user service data arriving at optical burst switching (OBS) network ingress nodes into two categories: a synchronous service and an asynchronous service, wherein the user service data are assembled into three classes of data burst (DB), namely, a fully synchronous DB, a hybrid synchronous/asynchronous DB, and a fully asynchronous DB, wherein the fully synchronous DB and the hybrid synchronous/asynchronous DB are collectively referred to as a synchronous DB; (B) defining and format-designing a routine burst control packet (R-BCP), a trace burst control packet (T-BCP) for implicitly notifying network nodes that a previously transmitted synchronous service flow has subsequent bursts; (C) at the edge nodes, making a generalized optical burst assembly supporting a multi-services convergence transmission comprises the steps of: (C1) determining a DB assembly manner; and (C2) creating BCPs comprising the steps of creating R-BCP and T-BCP for implicitly notifying network nodes that the previously transmitted synchronous service flow has subsequent bursts; (D) at the edge node, scheduling different class optical DBs by QoS differentiation; (E) making a resource reservation protocol with multi-services convergence transmission; and (F) determining a policy for a resource competition among different class services.
