Abstract--Power-awareness in networking attracts more attention as the trends in the energy consumption of the Internet raise growing concerns about the environmental impacts and s...
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 consider the fast simulation of traffic groomed optical networks, in which multiple sub-rate traffic streams may be carried on the same wavelength. For real-size...
In this paper, we address the issue of traffic grooming in arbitrary WDM mesh networks. We present a novel groomer architecture wherein a combination of grooming at two different ...
Abstract--The traffic grooming problem is of high practical importance in emerging wide-area wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks, yet it is intractable for any ...
