—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 ...
In this paper we address the problem of constrained optimization (ILP formulation) and propose a set of heuristic algorithms for assigning light-trails [1–4,7,10] to WDM ring ne...
In this paper, we present a new hybrid optical burst switch architecture (HOBS) that takes advantage of the pre-transmission idle time during lightpath establishment. In dynamic c...
—In hybrid Optical/packet networks, wavelength and VLAN tag continuity along a Label Switched Path are two common constraints. These two types of constraints, referred to as Gene...
—Lightpath reconfiguration performance has been evaluated experimentally for regional IP-over-WDM network applications, making the network scalable and stable when traffic change...
