In this paper, we address the issue of traffic grooming in arbitrary WDM mesh networks. We present a novel groomer architecture wherein a combination of grooming at two different ...
In this paper we address the problem of constrained optimization (ILP formulation) and propose a set of heuristic algorithms for assigning light-trails [1–4,7,10] to WDM ring ne...
The X-Bone dynamically deploys and manages Internet overlays to reduce con®guration eort and increase network component sharing. The X-Bone discovers, con®gures, and monitors ...
: The lack of a unified control plane does not allow current optical networks to dynamically provision new optical paths. The IETF standardization body has proposed the Generalized...
Abstract. This article proposes a hierarchical architecture for an infrastructure-based overlay network delivering multicast services. Such an overlay network is an alternative to ...
