Packet-based optical access ring is becoming a promising solution in metropolitan networks. Its performance depends mainly on how optical resource sharing takes place among the dif...
We consider an optical routing problem. SONET add-drop multiplexers (ADMs) are the dominant cost factor in SONET /WDM rings. The number of SONET ADMs required by a set of traffic...
—Burst loss and delay are two main issues in optical hop-count. Network diameter is the hop-count of the shortest burst switching (OBS) networks. In OBS, if the hop-count path be...
