Motivated to design a feasible optical network architecture for the future Internet, we address the question of scheduling (wavelength assignment) in an optical network. The key ch...
There has been much discussion about the best way to combine the benefits of new optical circuit switching technology with the established packet switched Internet. In this paper,...
—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...
— As an optical signal propagates along a lightpath to its destination in wavelength-routed optical networks (WRONs), the quality of transmission (QoT) is degraded by transmissio...
We consider the problem of traffic grooming in WDM path, star, and tree networks. Traffic grooming is a variant of the well-known logical topology design, and is concerned with the...
