In previous papers [5,6], an optical switch architecture was proposed to handle variable-length packets such as IP datagrams, based on an AWG device to route packets and equipped w...
Traffic grooming continues to be a rich area of research in the context of WDM optical networks. We provide an overview of the optical and electronic grooming techniques available...
In the next generation backbone networks, IP/MPLS over optical networks, the ability to maintain an acceptable level of reliability has become crucial since a failure can result in...
: A light-trail is a generalized lightpath that enables multiple nodes to statistically share an optical communication path (wavelength bus). A light-trail is different from a ligh...
