This paper investigates approaches for the traffic grooming problem that consider
connection holding-times and bandwidth availability. Moreover, solutions can indicate the …

It has been demonstrated that the overflow priority classification approximation (OPCA) is an
accurate method for blocking probability evaluation for various networks and systems …

The transmission reach of signals in optical transmission systems is limited. To go beyond
these transparent reach limits, signal regeneration is necessary to re-amplify, re-shape, and …

Dynamic circuits are well suited for applications that require predictable service with a
constant bit rate for a prescribed period of time, such as cloud computing and e-science …

In order to configure a network for optimized transport of packet data traffic, a first packet
node determines whether a traffic volume to be forwarded to a remote second packet node …

In optical burst switching (OBS), a source node, without reserving network resources end-to-
end, transmits bursts in available wavelength channels through a sequence of Optical Cross …

Optical network is playing a vital role to fulfill the demand of bandwidth hungry applications.
Optical circuit switching (OCS), Optical packet switching (OPS), and optical burst switching …

The upstream transmission of bulk data files in Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs)
arises from a number of applications, such as data back-up and multimedia file upload …

Dynamic circuits are well suited for applications that require predictable service with a
