Resource allocation mechanism remains a challenging issue in the conception of the actual and future networks. In this paper, we study several resource allocation schemes for the control plane of a lossless Optical Burst Switching (OBS) solution. We carry out a comparison of the proposed schemes using simulation approach. The performances of the proposed schemes are compared in terms of waiting time, service time, jitter and throughput. Simulation parameters are chosen according to implementation constraints.
