Traffic grooming refers to techniques used to combine low-speed traffic streams onto high-
speed wavelengths in order to minimize the networkwide cost in terms of line terminating …

The emergence of wavelength-division multiplexing technology has led to a tremendous
increase In the available transmission capacity in wide area networks. Consequently, these …

The objective of this book is to provide timely and comprehensive coverage of the principles,
technology, practice, and future of tra? c grooming in op-cal networks. Tra? c grooming …

The transmission capacity of a link in today's optical networks has increased significantly
due to wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology. The network performance is …

SONET add-drop multiplexers (ADMs) are the dominant cost factor in the SONET/WDM
rings. They can potentially be reduced by optical bypass via optical add-drop multiplexers …

In high-speed SONET rings with point-to-point WDM links, the cost of SONET add-drop
multiplexers (S-ADMs) can be dominantly high. However, by grooming traffic (ie …

Traffic grooming is the term used to describe how different traffic streams are packed into
higher speed streams. In a synchronous optical network-wavelength division multiplexing …

We develop traffic grooming algorithms for unidirectional SONET/WDM ring networks. The
objective is to assign calls to wavelengths in a way that minimizes the total cost of electronic …

The traffic grooming problem in optical networks has been extensively studied. It tackles the
problem of aggregating sub-wavelength traffic onto optical lightpaths so that the network …

As the operation of our fiber-optic backbone networks migrates from interconnected SONET
rings to arbitrary mesh topology, traffic grooming on wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) …
