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...
— Flow-based networking has gained momentum in the research community in recent years. It allows improved performance guarantees and dynamic, load-aware routing. Flowbased networ...
Clos networks are an important class of switching networks due to their modular structure and much lower cost compared with crossbars. For routing I/O permutations of Clos network...
This paper describes a new tool for gathering (performance) data from optical network devices. During the last few years many National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) have ...
Virtual circuits can reduce routing overheads with irregular topologies and provide support for a mix of quality of service (QOS) requirements. Information about network loads and...
