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 …

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) …

Power-awareness in networking attracts more attention as the trends in the energy
consumption of the Internet raise growing concerns about the environmental impacts and …

The essential guide to the state of the art in WDM and its vast networking potential As a
result of its huge transmission capacity and countless other advantages, fiber optics has …

The advent of fiber optic transmission systems and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
have led to a dramatic increase in the usable bandwidth of single fiber systems. This book …

We employ a new, generic graph model for dynamic traffic grooming in WDM mesh
networks. The novelty of this model is that, by only manipulating the edges of an auxiliary …

The Internet revolution. Once, the public was delighted with 14.4 modem access and
fascinated by low-tech Web site content. But not for long. Technology has raced to keep up …

Optical networks and the related technologies, network management software and services
have undergone remarkable developments, and such networks are now the ultra-high …

Traffic grooming is concerned with the design, operation, and control of networks with
multigranular bandwidth demands. As the number of resources in a multigranular network …

In this paper we consider the optimal design and provisioning of WDM networks for the
grooming of multicast subwavelength traffic. We develop a unified framework for the optimal …
