In this paper we address the problem of maximizing the utilization of optical network
bandwidth by proposing a technique called packet containerization at the edge of the optical …

In IP over WDM multilayer optical networks, IP routers are interconnected by all-optical
channels called lightpaths, of typical rates of 10, 40, or, more recently, 100 Gb/s. In this …

In this paper, we propose a novel lightpath rerouting algorithm to optimize network
resources allocation in WDM all-optical networks in order to set up an incoming lightpath …

Plug and play optical (PPO) nodes enable fast, re-configurable, and flexible ad hoc
deployment of optical networks. Once plugged, the PPO nodes provide all-optical circuits …

Next-generation optical transport networks will include multiple domains with diverse
technologies, protocols, granularities, and carriers. In such networks, the problem of routing …

A crucial issue in all-optical networks is packet loss. In this paper we evaluate sources of
packet loss, comparing impact of effects at the physical layer and at the network layer. The …

As the WDM technology matures and the demand for bandwidth increases, dynamic
provisioning of lightpaths at the WDM layer becomes an important and challenging problem …

In this paper we investigate traffic-engineering issues in Wavelength Division Multiplexing
(WDM) alloptical networks. In such networks, the wavelength continuity constraint along with …

This paper formulates the wavelength assignment issues an interconnecting optical
broadcast-star local area networks (LANs) through a wavelength routing bridge. Static and …
