In this paper, we first propose and compare various multicast scheduling protocols for an
asynchronous WDM optical star network. A central traffic scheduler is allocated to coordinate …

A new multihop wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical network with two
wavelengths per node that can give the maximum throughput and minimum delay is …

Using analogies between the basic theory of cell switching for datagram networks and
multiwavelength slotted optical networks, we show that the bu ering capabilities of high …

Traditional communication models have been one-to-one or unicast, and one-to-all or
broadcast. Among these two extremes lies multicast which refers to the targeting of a data …

This paper describes an algorithm for the design of an all-optical WDM network based on a
multiple ring concept. In this approach, the network problem is solved in two stages, first by …

Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is an important technique to make use of the large
amount of bandwidths in optical fibers to meet the bandwidth requirements of applications …

Multicasting in a network is needed for a number of applications where a session requires
connectivity between more than two participants. In this paper, we consider a wavelength …

All-optical networks are a strong answer to the huge data traffic demand expected for the
forthcoming information society. An interesting networking aspect represents broadcasting in …

Lightwave network architectures have emerged that aim to go far beyond simply exploiting
the huge point-to-point transmission capabilities of fiber optics. One of the most powerful and …

The rapid growth in world-wide communications and proliferating use of Internet has
significantly modified the ways of life. This revolution has led to vast growth of …
