Control Channel is an allocated channel in OBS environment where the BHP is transmitted.
Control Channel is allocated in OBS environment in order to provide a separate and secured transmission of BHP(Burst Header Packet).In a huge OBS network environment it is crucial for the BHP to reach the destination safe without getting lost.If the BHP is transmitted in the same channel as in the case of inband signaling there is a possibility of a BHP loss due to collisions with the Burst. The switch is designed such that it will be able to process the BHP arriving in the control channel and provide an all optical pass through for data channels.
