While the backbone networks have experienced substantial changes in the last decade; the access networks have not changed much. Recently, passive optical networks (PONs) seem to be...
We introduce a problem directly inspired by its application to DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) network design. We are given a set of demands to be carried over a netw...
Nowadays, the Quality of Service (QoS) in Optical Grids has become a key issue. An important QoS factor is the resiliency, namely the ability to survive from certain network failur...

—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 ...
Abstract. In this paper we present a policy-based architecture for aggregating (grooming) IP/MPLS flows (packet-based LSPs) within lightpaths taking into account the possibility o...
