The Internet is a key part of today's social infrastructures, and its importance will continue to
grow. However, in viewing the complex process of technological expansion of the Internet …

Today, the overloaded networks increasingly entail high operational costs but may not
generate new revenues accordingly. Legacy network elements are reaching end-of-life and …

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 …

In this paper we propose a simple model that analyzes the cost saving achieved by optical
IP switching (OIS), a novel optical architecture, compared to a conventional IP-over-WDM …

The transport network paradigm is moving toward next-generation networks that aim at IP
convergence, while architectures and technologies are diversifying. Video technologies …

We propose a mechanism for achieving interworking between an optical packet and circuit
integrated (OPCI) network and OpenFlow-based networks. Due to the ability of the OPCI …

When we examine today's internet architecture, we notice that the IP layer network is divided
into multiple domains, managed by different service providers, operating different …

Coupling Internet protocol (IP) routers with wavelengthselective optical crossconnects
makes it possible to extend the existing Internet infrastructure to a wavelength-division …

This is the first book to focus on IP over WDM optical networks. It not only summarizes the
fundamental mechanisms and the recent development and deployment of WDM optical …
