— There are two fundamental technology issues that challenge the robustness of IP backbones. First, SONET protection is gradually being removed because of its high cost (while SO...
—For a large-scale mesh network with dynamic traffic, maintaining the global state information in a centralized fashion is impractical. Hence, distributed schemes are needed to ...
This paper studies the important fault management issue with focus on the fast restoration mechanisms for Optical Burst Switched (OBS) networks. In order to reduce the burst losse...
—We consider the offline version of the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) problem in transparent all-optical networks. In such networks and in the absence of regenerators, ...
Abstract- This paper presents a RWA strategy based on the stochastic estimation of the Effective Number of Available Wavelengths (ENAW) along interdomain paths. We propose an appro...
