Abstract— In order to provide reliable connections across metropolitan and wide-area optical networks, the network operator must provide some degree of redundancy so that traffic...
— Trainet, a new scheme to extend MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) is presented. The scheme works much like the subway system in a large metropolitan area. Each (unidirectio...
Optical Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) suffer from optical-loss during switching and crosstalk problem in the switches. The crosstalk problem is solved by routing mess...
