As a promising solution to tackle the network heterogeneity in multicasting, layered multicast protocols such as Receiver-driven layered multicast (RLM) and Layered video multicas...
In multihop wavelength division multiplexing systems, a connection between two communication nodes consists of one or more lightpaths. A wavelength conversion is required at the j...

Multicast transmission has several distinctive traits as opposed to more commonly studied unicast networks. Specially, these include (i) identical packets must be delivered success...
We study the problem of designing a survivable WDM network based on covering the communication requests with subnetworks that are protected independently from each other. We consi...
