1. A control packet for use in an OBS (optical burst switching) network, comprising:

  • a label which is switched to transmit in high speed a packet from a source host to a corresponding destination host;

    a wavelength ID (identifier) for distinguishing a channel and a switching in the OBS;

    a CoS (class of service) field for providing a different type of a CoS for the control packet;

    an offset time for indicating a difference between respective arrival times of the control packet and a data burst thereof;

    a data burst size; and

    a CRC (cyclic redundancy checking) for error detecting.
