Abstract Optical Burst Switching (OBS) is a promising solution for realizing IP/DWDM. This paper focuses on the one-way delayed reservation scheme. As a well-known scheme, JET (Just Enough Time) is described first. Then a new scheme called Just Little Time(JLT) is introduced in this paper. JLT is compatible with deflection routing and has no offset redundancy. To support service differentiation, offset time increments are adopted by JLT. JLT proves to be effective via computer simulations.
