User-controlled circuit-switched optical networks are gaining popularity in an effort to fulfill the insatiable data transport needs of the online community. In this paper we cons...
A new model of nonuniform traffic is introduced for a single-hop packet-switching system. This traffic model allows arbitrary traffic streams subject only to a constraint on the nu...
—We introduce a novel protection scheme, called Cooperative Fast Protection (CFP), to fight against a single link failure in survivable WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) mes...
