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 …

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 this thesis, we present the identification of methods and tools for the design and analysis
of an Agile All-Photonic Network (AAPN). This thesis discusses the layered topology which …

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 …

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 …

Rapid changes in population distribution across Canada and the introduction of new
telecommunication services to the consumer market have resulted in a number of significant …

Overlaid-star networks with reservation-based scheduling could be appropriate networks for
metro areas. The Birkhoff–von Neumann (BvN) scheduling could be used at the core nodes …

The Agile All-Photonic Network (AAPN) uses Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) to better
utilize the bandwidth of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) systems. It uses agile all …

A novel routing architecture that balances Internet flows over the Agile All-Photonic Network
(AAPN) is proposed. It is based on the adaptive Highest Random Weight (adaptive HRW) …

A method, bus controller, and computer program product for arbitrating use of a
communication bus for a certain one of a plurality of interconnected nodes that share the …
