DWDM networks make use of optical switching networks that allow light waves of multiple
lengths to be serviced and provide the possibility of converting them appropriately …

This article presents simulation studies of elastic optical switching fabrics. Simulation
experiments were conducted using the software developed by the authors. The simulator …

In this paper, we investigate the three-stage, wavelength–space–wavelength switching
fabric architecture for nodes in elastic optical networks. In general, this switching fabric has r …

With network functions decoupled from specific hardware, network function virtualization
(NFV) is a promising technology to accelerate service provisioning in datacenter (DC) …

This article discusses a discretized model of resources to which a mixture of multi-service
traffic streams is offered. In the model the connections of individual traffic classes that require …

Elastic optical networks (EONs) are a promising solution for future high-speed optical
communication, and multicasting in EONs can efficiently support many emerging services …

This article proposes an analytical method for determining the traffic characteristics of multi-
service switching networks in elastic optical networks. The method takes into consideration …

In this paper, we consider a two-stage converting-converting (CC) switching network. This
structure can be used, for instance, in switches of elastic optical networks (EONs) or in time …

This paper introduces two nonblocking switching fabric architectures designed for multicast
connections. These connections are defined using the multislot connection approach …

This paper considers the three-stage switching fabrics of the wavelength-space-wavelength
architecture, called the WSW1 switching fabrics, for elastic optical nodes. Seven control …
