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 …

Optical networks based on wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) tech nology offer the
promise to satisfy the bandwidth requirements of the Inter net infrastructure, and provide a …

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

In wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks, the bandwidth request of a
traffic stream can be much lower than the capacity of a lightpath. Efficiently grooming low …

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 …

The traffic grooming problem is of high practical importance in emerging wide-area
wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks, yet it is intractable for any but …

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 …

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) …

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 …

In this article we investigate the problem of efficiently provisioning connections of different
bandwidth granularities in a heterogeneous WDM mesh network through dynamic traffic …
