—To lower costs, WDM PONs may share the usage of wavelengths, transmitters, and receivers among ONUs, instead of dedicating the transmission between OLT and each ONU with one ind...
Packet-switching WDM ring networks with a hotspot transporting unicast, multicast, and broadcast trac are important components of high-speed metropolitan area networks. For an arbi...

The survivability of backbone networks to failures is an on-going concern. This paper investigates survivability strategies for IP-over-WDM networks in a multi-layer framework wher...
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing optical networks transport a huge aggregate traffic exceeding Tbps per single fiber, and passive optical network technology has been extended...
