Abstract Recent advances in optical switching technology allows for the creation of networks in which data bursts are switched optically at each node, offering a greater degree of...
We describe a WDM-based optical access network architecture for providing broadband Internet services. The architecture uses a passive collection and distribution network and a co...
Optical Burst Switching (OBS) has been proposed as a costeffective paradigm for supporting, with adequate flexibility, the increasingly high transmission capacity required by the ...
Failure resilience is a desired feature of the Internet. Most traditional restoration architectures assume single-failure assumption, which is not adequate in present day WDM opti...
We consider all-optical networks with shortest-path routing that use wavelength-division multiplexing and employ wavelength conversion at specific nodes in order to maximize their...
