There are many advantages of deploying an all-optical network. Unfortunately, there are still
few guidelines on how to properly design the physical topology for such a network. We …

In optical networks, physical topology design is critically important, and key underlying
parameters to be considered are cost, power consumption, and resilience. Optimization of …

Designing optical networks for maximum throughput, under diverse traffic demands, is an
NP-hard problem. We parameterise the relationship between demand and topology through …

Multiobjective Physical Topology Design of All-Optical Networks Considering QoS and Capex

In this paper, we consider the problem of physical topology design (ie, physical connectivity)
for Internet backbone networks. We explore the driving forces for service providers to layout …

We present the design and analysis of an Agile All-Photonic Network (AAPN); in the context
of our study, the agility is derived from sub-microsecond photonic switching and global …

The design of optical networks for maximum throughput under diverse traffic demands is a
long-standing NP-hard problem. In this paper, by parameterizing the relationship between …

We consider the problem of designing a network of optical cross-connects (OXCs) to provide
end-to-end lightpath services to large numbers of label switched routers (LSRs). We present …

We design and optimize the physical topology of all-optical networks. This problem is more
challenging than the traditional one for electronic communication networks, because of the …

Although designing a virtual topology for all-optical WDM wide-area networks has been
extensively studied and several algorithms have been proposed, these algorithms assume …
