: The lack of a unified control plane does not allow current optical networks to dynamically provision new optical paths. The IETF standardization body has proposed the Generalized...
— This paper reports on an experiment in network protocol design: we use novel rigorous techniques in the design process of a new protocol, in a close collaboration between syste...

Abstract. Our Token Based Switch (TBS) implementation shows that a packetbased admission control system can be used to dynamically select a fast end-to-end connection over a hybrid...

- This paper describes new optical switching architectures supporting asynchronous variable-length packets. Output line contention is resolved by optical delay line buffers. By int...
Abstract. In Optical Burst-Switched networks, the so-called BurstControl Packet is sent a given offset-time ahead of the optical data burst to advertise the imminent burst arrival...
