A brief explanation is given of the language ANISE (Architectural Notions In Service Engineering) that can be used to describe generic services as well as telecommunications servi...
Host configuration in optical networks is usually done by hand. In this paper we propose to use zero configuration techniques, including self-assigned IP addresses and multicast D...

— As an optical signal propagates along a lightpath to its destination in distributed wavelength-routed optical networks, the signal’s quality is degraded by transmission impai...
Hybrid networks are networks capable of switching data at multiple levels (optical and IP packet level) by means of multi-service optical switches. As a result of that, huge flows...
: Results describing the design trade-offs in bandwidth utilisation and wavelength re-use in optical burst-switched networks are reported. The effects of traffic statistics are ana...
