Abstract— This paper studies the problem of designing survivable optical wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks. A wavelength-routed wide area backbone network supporting...
— As an optical signal propagates along a lightpath to its destination in wavelength-routed optical networks (WRONs), the quality of service (QoS) will be degraded by transmissio...
Abstract— A promising approach to the effective utilization of wavelength division multiplexed networks is to transfer data on an on-demand basis using fast wavelength reservati...
We present three dynamic routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) algorithms that are intended for multifiber WDM networks without wavelength converters. For networks with a large n...
—The prospects of Optical Burst Switching (OBS) as a cost-effective switching paradigm for future all-optical transport networks would greatly benefit from minimizing the number ...
