— As wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) evolves towards practical applications in optical transport networks, waveband switching (WBS) has been introduced to cut down the ope...
A network with restoration capability requires spare capacity to be used in the case of failure. Optimization of spare capacity is to find the minimum amount of spare capacity for ...
In many-to-many communication, a session consists of group of users (we call them members) where each one of the members transmits its traffic to all other members in the group. Th...
: In this paper, we investigate the problem of routing lightpaths on an arbitrary physical topology following a Design Protection approach, such that virtual topology remains conne...
Abstract-- We propose a framework for decentralized path selection and on-demand wavelength channel provisioning in WDM networks with routing constraints. Within this framework, th...
