In this paper, a new optimal policy is introduced to determine, adapt, and protect the Generalized MultiProtocol Label Switching (GMPLS) network topology based on the current traf...
Failure resilience is a desired feature of the Internet. Most traditional restoration architectures assume single-failure assumption, which is not adequate in present day WDM opti...
As passive optical networks (PON) are increasingly deployed to provide high speed Internet access, it is important to understand their fundamental traffic capacity limits. The pape...
