" Agile All-Photonic Networks"(AAPN) is the theme of a Canadian research collaboration. An
AAPN is a wavelengthdivision-multiplexed network that consists of several overlaid stars …

This paper presents an overview of recent and current work being conducted in the “Agile All-
Photonic Networks”, AAPN, Research Network. An AAPN is a wavelength division …

The goal of this study is to develop an all-optical photonic network core that stretches as
close as possible to the end-user. A practical paradigm for achieving an agile all-photonic …

The term" agility" in optical networks describes the ability to deploy bandwidth on demand at
fine granularity that allows carriers to provision and deploy services rapidly. An overlaid star …

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 …

We present the design and analysis of an Agile All-Photonic Network (AAPN); in the context
of our study, the agility is derived from sub-microsecond photonic switching and global …

Optical layer networking, such as wavelength routing, switching and restoration/protection in
an optical layer is a major trend of future optical networks to achieve highly scaleable and …

The agile all-photonic network (AAPN) is a network that uses time division multiplexing
(TDM) to better utilize the bandwidth of WDM systems. AAPN uses agile all-photonic …

In this paper, we study how MPLS flows are routed in an Internet that contains a centrally-
controlled agile allphotonic star WDM network (AAPN). Two scenarios are considered …

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 …
