The virtual path (VP) concept has been gaining attention in terms of effective deployment of
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks in recent years. In a recent paper, we outlined …

A virtual path connection (VPC) is a labelled path which can be used to transport a bundle of
virtual channel connections (VCCs) and to manage the resources used by these …

Graph models are commonly used in studying solutions to internetworking problems. This
paper considers several random graph models that have been used to model internetworks …

A number of optimization models for the establishment of virtual path connections (VPCs)
with reserved capacity have been proposed in the literature. All of them, however, failed to …

Current technological possibilities for implementing multi-service networks include both
single technology ATM or IP networks and multi-technology networks such as SONET-based …

This paper presents a reconfiguration scheme resulting in capacity efficiency and fast
restoration by utilizing the inherent benefits of Virtual Paths in ATM networks. The unified …

This paper considers a problem of configuring both physical backbone and logical virtual
path (VP) networks in a reconfigurable asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network where …

This paper presents a network model for virtual path (VP) management which considers
both the topology and capacity allocation for a set of virtual path connections (VPCs). The …

Virtual paths (VPs) in an ATM network form a logical network, called VP network (VPN), over
the underlying physical network. VPN allows flexible management of network resources and …

This paper considers a problem of configuring both backbone and logical networks in a
reconfigurable circuit-switched network where links are subject to failures. The objective is to …
