Recently, TCP performance over Optical Burst-Switched Networks (OBSN) has drawn more and more attention, but most of previous work were based on small linear network under static traffic, which was much different from the real condition. In this paper, a more realistic OBSN model was set up and dynamic TCP performance over it was investigated with the help of a ns2-based OBSN simulation platform. The impacts of OBSN configuration parameters and different TCP implementations on the overall throughput were discussed.
