This paper develops a framework to support multiple protection strategies in optical networks, which is in general applicable to any connection-oriented network. The capacity avail...
—Burst loss and delay are two main issues in optical hop-count. Network diameter is the hop-count of the shortest burst switching (OBS) networks. In OBS, if the hop-count path be...
—In this paper we study by means of simulation the effect of the variation of the burstification period in OBS networks on the performance of TCP Vegas.
— To increase the availability of Free Space Network (FSO) networks, the optical link is provided with a redundant backup network, such as RF, to form a hybrid network. The immed...

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...
