— This paper presents the design and dimensioning optimization of a novel optical network structure, called the Petaweb, having a total capacity of several Pb/s (1015 bit/s). Its...
— Medium access control (MAC) protocols have been studied under different contexts for several years now. In all these MAC protocols, nodes make independent decisions on when to ...
Internal switches in all-photonic networks do not perform data conversion into the electronic domain, thereby eliminating a potential capacity bottleneck, but the inability to per...
— This paper studies load balancing for multipath Internet routing. We focus on hash-based load balancing algorithms that work on the flow level to avoid packet reordering which...
Grid services have tremendously simplified the programming challenges in leveraging large-scale distributed comAt the same time, the increased level of abstraction reduces the op...
– In this work, we evaluate an attractive candidate for optical network data transport: Optical Flow Switching (OFS). We describe the operation and implementation of the architec...

— Smart antennas include a broad range of antenna technologies ranging from the simple switched beam to the more sophisticated adaptive arrays and multiple input multiple output ...
RSVP–TE is a signaling protocol to setup and teardown lightpaths in wavelength–routed GPMLS networks. RSVP– TE uses the soft–state control mechanism to manage lightpaths. ...
— As the popularity of resource-constrained devices such as hand-held computers increases, a new network service offloading complex processing tasks towards computational resour...
