In WDM all-optical networks where electrical regeneration is not available, physical
impairments due to propagation in the fibers, amplifier noise, and leaks between channels …

This paper considers an optical packet-switched node subject to asynchronous, variable-
length packets and connection-oriented operation. We firstly address the problem of setting …

Passive optical networks (PONs) will be the pervasive choice in the design of next-
generation access networks. One possible solution to implementing passive optical access …

This paper presents a simple and efficient algorithm for timeslot allocation in agile all-
photonic network (AAPN) cores working under a time division multiplexing (TDM) mode …

" Agile All-Photonic Networks"(AAPN) is the theme of a Canadian research collaboration. An
AAPN is a wavelengthdivision-multiplexed network that consists of several overlaid stars …

This paper addresses the problem of routing and wavelength assignment of bit-rate-
differentiated optical services in a hybrid network. Hybrid optical networks are composed of …

The ever-growing demand for network capacity has resulted in the inception of optical burst
switching (OBS) offering all-optical transmission, high-speed data rates and format …

This paper reports on the design, implementation, and evaluation of a multitechnology,
multirate, and adaptable network architecture for metropolitan/edge areas. It is empowered …

Many discussions in the recent literature address issues in designing architectures for high
speed optical multiaccess networks in the presence of long propagation delays, eg [1, 2, 3] …

In this paper, the various Optical Burst Switching (OBS) reservation schemes have been
examined in order to reduce data loss caused by either channel scheduling or resources. A …
