Ethernet's success in local area networks (LANs) is fueling the efforts to extend its reach to
cover metro and long-haul networks. This new Ethernet is refereed to as Carrier Ethernet …

Ethernet in backbone networks has the potential to provide high-performance and cost-
efficient networking solutions. Driven by the rapid growth of Ethernet traffic, it is likely that, in …

A field trial of 100-Gbit/s Ethernet over an optical transport network (OTN) is conducted using
a real-time digital coherent signal processor. Error free operation with the Q-margin of 3.2 dB …

Ethernet is a success story in local area networks (LAN). Efforts for extending its boundaries
beyond LAN to the carriers' backbone networks are in progress. We study the problem of …

Optical wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) networks often include optical cross-
connects with multigranularity switching capability, such as switching on a single lambda, a …

In this paper, we propose an efficient approximation approach, called Lagrangean
relaxation with heuristics (LRH), aimed to resolve routing and wavelength assignment …

Future telecommunication networks employing optical wavelength-division multiplexing
(WDM) are expected to be increasingly heterogeneous and support a wide variety of traffic …

We consider the problem of planning a mixed line rate (MLR) wavelength division
multiplexing (WDM) transport optical network. In such networks, different modulation formats …

The emerging high-speed Ethernet is expected to take full advantage of the currently
deployed optical infrastructure, ie, optical transport network over wavelength division …

The increasing demand of bandwidth has found an answer in Optical Transport Networks
(OTN). To take advantage of the different resources that OTNs offer, several parameters …
