During the previous years, there has been a big technological advancement in Digital Signal
Processing (DSP) and coherent pluggable optics, which enabled a considerable increase in …

A wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical path-based Internet protocol (IP)
backbone network is proposed as a cost-effective way of realizing robust IP-over-photonic …

The DARPA CORONET project seeks to develop the target network architectures and
technologies needed to build next-generation long-distance IP-over-Optical-Layer (IP/OL) …

Large IP backbone networks today are mostly deployed directly over sequences of point-to-
point DWDM systems or chains of newer ROADM-based ultra long haul systems …

As the optical cross-connects have become cost-effective, Internet service providers (ISPs)
have begun to consider carrying IP traffic directly in the optical transport domain, bypassing …

Feature Issue on Optical Interconnection Networks (OIN) In the design of an optical-packet-
switching network, several policy decisions must be made and network parameters must be …

The paper proposes a novel IP-over-optical network interconnection model that takes the
best features from both the overlay and peer models while avoiding their limitations …

The phenomenal growth of the Internet coupled with the emergence of new QoS-aware
services in the network has put an enormous strain on current networks. Research efforts …

This paper presents two dynamic multi-layer routing policies for optical IP Networks. Both
policies first try to allocate a newly requested electrical path to an existing optical path that …

IP-based backbone networks are gradually moving to a network model consisting of high-
speed routers that are flexibly interconnected by a mesh of light paths set up by an optical …
