Abstract— As WDM technology matures and multicast applications become increasingly popular, supporting multicast at the WDM layer becomes an important and yet challenging topic. ...
— Although many multicast routing algorithms have been proposed in order to reduce the total cost in WDM optical networks, the link stress and delay are two parameters which are ...
— Rerouting is a viable and cost-effective approach to decrease the blocking probability in legacy circuit-switched networks. We study lightpath rerouting in optical WDM networks...
We analyze the effect of a few fiber delay loops on the number of deflections in an all optical packet switch. The switch is based on the ROMEO architecture developed by Alcatel...
All-optical packet switching (AOPS) technology is essential to fully utilize the tremendous bandwidth provided by advanced optical communication techniques through forwarding pack...
