Traffic grooming refers to techniques used to combine low-speed traffic streams onto high-
speed wavelengths in order to minimize the networkwide cost in terms of line terminating …

As the operation of our fiber-optic backbone networks migrates from interconnected SONET
rings to arbitrary mesh topology, traffic grooming on wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) …

We investigate the survivable traffic-grooming problem for optical mesh networks employing
wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). In the dynamic provisioning context, a typical …

The advent of fiber optic transmission systems and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
have led to a dramatic increase in the usable bandwidth of single fiber systems. This book …

Summary form only given. We consider an arbitrary-topology, optical mesh network which
employs wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) to multiply the bandwidth on its links. Our …

This article presents two dynamic multilayer routing policies implemented in the photonic
MPLS router developed by NTT for IP+ optical generalized MPLS networks. According to IP …

We employ a new, generic graph model for dynamic traffic grooming in WDM mesh
networks. The novelty of this model is that, by only manipulating the edges of an auxiliary …

The Internet revolution. Once, the public was delighted with 14.4 modem access and
fascinated by low-tech Web site content. But not for long. Technology has raced to keep up …

The rapid advances in dense wavelength-division multiplexing technology with hundreds of
wavelengths per fiber and worldwide fiber deployment have brought about a tremendous …

Optical networks and the related technologies, network management software and services
have undergone remarkable developments, and such networks are now the ultra-high …
