In recent years elastic optical networks have been perceived as a prospective choice for
future optical networks due to better adjustment and utilization of optical resources than is …

Multi-stage switching is very suitable for implement-ing interconnection systems operating at
different physical scale (from rack-to-rack to on-chip) and with several technologies (either …

This paper defines a procedure for designing the architecture of multistage switching
networks. Our proposal is the result of a systematic study of the properties of multistage …

Optical networking technology can provide highbandwidth transmission and fast switching
for the Datacenter Network (DCN), especially for the intra-DCN that consists of abundant …

During the past three decades, there have been major achievements on accurate modelling
of behaviour and operation of telecommunication networks utilising classical methods with …

Optical interconnection has become one of the key technologies to adapt the needs of large-

Virtualization is defined as the process consisting of building a virtual resource on top of one
or several physical resources, depending on the selected paradigm: aggregation or …

In the past few decades, electronic packet switching (EPS) has been widely accepted in
communication systems for its high efficiency of transmitting data in small sizes. However, its …
