Abstract--We present a novel approach for joint optical network provisioning and Internet protocol (IP) traffic engineering, in which the IP and optical networks collaboratively op...
In this paper, we consider the fast simulation of traffic groomed optical networks, in which multiple sub-rate traffic streams may be carried on the same wavelength. For real-size...
: A light-trail is a generalized lightpath that enables multiple nodes to statistically share an optical communication path (wavelength bus). A light-trail is different from a ligh...
: The maximum traffic load that can be supported by a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical burst switched (OBS) network with dynamic wavelength allocation is studied. It i...
