This thesis describes a framework for bandwidth allocation and scheduling in the Agile All-
Photonic Network (AAPN). This framework is also applicable to any single-hop …

Schedulers in optical switches are still electronic, the performance of these units has a
significant impact on the performance of the network and could form a bottleneck in high …

This paper raises the issues faced in edge node design for an agile all-photonic network
(AAPN) and proposes solutions. The architecture discussed addresses several issues such …

Two methods of generating self-similar Internet traffic are reported in this document. The first
method uses Heavy-tailed Pareto distribution and generates fixed length packets, while the …

Optical switches are the key components in realizing reconfigurable all optical networks. The
deployment of optical switches (replacing the conventional electronic switches) at the …

In optical burst switched networks contention is the main source of burst loss. The burst
retransmission resolves contention by retransmitting the contended burst at the optical burst …

Transmission impairments degrade the quality of optical signals, ultimately limiting the
achievable transmission distance. Optical 3R regenerators provide an effective means of …

In this paper, we study the delay performance of a centrally-controlled agile all-photonic star
WDM network that provides multiplexing in the time domain over each wavelength. We …

In this work we examine various survivability schemes for an agile all-photonic backbone
network (AAPN). The AAPN architecture has been proposed by the telecommunication …

The aim of this work is to analyze, evaluate, and compare the technological and architectural
options to implement the core switches of the Agile All-Photonic Network (AAPN). The …
