— In this paper we study different options for the survivability implementation in MPLS over Optical Transport Networks (OTN) in terms of network resource usage and configuratio...
: A light-trail is a generalized lightpath that enables multiple nodes to statistically share an optical communication path (wavelength bus). A light-trail is different from a ligh...
s span three levels of abstraction, from routing and reconfigurable add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) choice, to span engineering, to power dynamics simulation. Each level represents a ...
Abstract—We propose an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) centric Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) scheme based on individual requests from service queues in Optical Network Units (ON...
Current means of providing loop-back recovery, which is widely used in SONET, rely on ring topologies, or on overlaying logical ring topologies upon physical meshes. Loop-back is d...
