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 …

Even though transport of an equivalent amount of bandwidth at the IP layer is much more
expensive than at the optical layer, it is not universally true that restoration of span failures is …

This article presents a new proposal for TCP-IP backbone implementation based on optical
packet switching technology. The proposed network architecture merges the flexibility in …

We analyze the effects of dynamic optical circuit setup on IP routing in general and on two
routing mechanisms in particular, ie, explicit routing and shortest-path-first routing. We …

Despite the efforts made towards the convergence of packet and circuit switched
technologies, the isolation between the Internet and the optical Network Management …

This paper outlines an approach, called the optical border gateway protocol (OBGP) of
extending the BGP routing protocol to support light path setup and management across an …

The design of an IP link topology (ie, deciding which set of router-to-router communication
links to establish) is an important factor in determining both the cost and performance of an …
