The increasingly bursty nature of delay-tolerable content delivery services requires new
design and control perspectives in state-of-the-art end-to-end bufferless transport networks …

Increasing bulk data transfers incur peak-hour bandwidth contention between bulky and
short flows as well as between bulky flows. To mitigate this contention, storage is introduced …

We examine optical burst switching (OBS) networks with out-of-band header transmission
and electronic processing. We present the first detailed analysis of the potential effects of …

Immediate reservation (IR) and advance reservation (AR) are the two main reservation
mechanisms currently implemented on large-scale scientific optical networks. They can be …

The prospects of Optical Burst Switching (OBS) as a cost-effective switching paradigm for
future all-optical transport networks could greatly benefit from avoiding the use of complex …

Long-Reach optical access is a promising proposal for future access networks. This
technology can enable broadband access for a large number of customers in the …

Feature Issue on Optical Interconnection Networks (OIN) We describe results of the
scalability analysis for dynamic wavelength-routed optical networks with end-to-end …

In this paper, we study the cost of protection in Time-Domain Wavelength Interleaved
Network (TWIN), an optical burst switching technology for transport networks with active …

Emerging real-time applications such as those classified under ultra-reliable low latency
(uRLLC) generate bursty traffic and have strict quality of service (QoS) requirements. The …

New signaling suites for a distributed control plane in wavelength division multiplexing
(WDM) networks, such as generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) and automatic …
