This paper presents a new idea for the management of lambda-connections in optical networks. The idea consists of making multi-service optical switches responsible for automaticall...
WDM technology has increased network link capacity dramatically, moving the network bottleneck from the transport to the routing layer. Hybrid electro-optical architectures seem at...
The performance of an optical switch that handles contention resolution using a fiber delay line (FDL) is modeled and evaluated. We propose using a simple optical buffer that con...
—Optical layer monitoring and fault localization serves as a critical functional module in the control and management of optical networks. An efficient monitoring scheme aims at ...
In performance analysis and design of communication netword modeling data traffic is important. With introduction of new applications, the characteristics of the data traffic chang...
