We describe a WDM-based optical access network architecture for providing broadband Internet services. The architecture uses a passive collection and distribution network and a co...
As ISPs and telcos converge toward all-IP network infrastructures, the problem of service reliability becomes more acute. In this article, we investigate to what extent DiffServ c...
Advanced optical networks deploy wavelength division multiplexing technology to transport an unprecedented amount of information per fiber. Each optical channel transports informat...
- In this work, we study the problem of maximizing lightpath reliability in optical mesh networks against simultaneous failures of multiple fiber links without using protection sch...
Single- and multiple-link failure resilience are of critical importance in survivable wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical network design. Networks are not made up simply...
