— We present a detailed analysis of the loss performance in an optical buffer having access to a single outgoing channel. Such a system - consisting of a number of fiber delay li...
This paper presents a protocol for packet switched optical LANs using a star topology. The key element in this network is the use of an intelligent hub, which controls the traffic...
Traffic grooming continues to be a rich area of research in the context of WDM optical networks. We provide an overview of the optical and electronic grooming techniques available...
—We introduce a novel protection scheme, called Cooperative Fast Protection (CFP), to fight against a single link failure in survivable WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) mes...
High efficiency in capacity utilization and fast restoration are two primary goals of survivable design in optical networks. Shared backup path protection has been shown to be effi...
