— We consider a ring topology with limited or full switching capability as deployed in high bandwidth metro optical networks and develop a model to estimate the probability of bl...
— In this paper we investigate which is the most efficient architecture and protocol that can be used for file distribution. The focus of the analysis is to understand not only...
Abstract— As stateful flow-aware services are becoming commonplace, distributed router architectures have to quickly assign packets being forwarded to service-specialized proces...
— As Internet computing gains speed, complexity and becomes ubiquitous, the need for precise and accurate time synchronization increases. In this paper, we present a characteriza...

— We consider a set of computer resources used by a service provider to host enterprise applications subject to service level agreements. We present an approach for resource opti...
— We consider the problem of providing absolute QoS guarantees to multiple classes of users of an OBS network in terms of the end-to-end burst loss. We employ Markov decision pro...
— In this work, we conduct a throughput-cost study of several optical network architectures: Optical Flow Switching (OFS), Tell-and-Go (TaG), Electronic Packet Switching (EPS), a...

Abstract- This paper presents a RWA strategy based on the stochastic estimation of the Effective Number of Available Wavelengths (ENAW) along interdomain paths. We propose an appro...
— Single-hop wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) ring networks operating in packet mode are a promising architecture for the design of innovate Metropolitan Area Networks. The...
