This study focuses on the routing and Wavelength-Assignment (RWA) problem in
wavelength-routed optical WDM networks. Most of the attention is devoted to such networks …

While optical-transmission techniques have been researched for quite some time, optical"
networking" studies have been conducted only over the past dozen years or so. The field …

In wavelength-routed WDM networks, a control mechanism is required to set up and take
down all-optical connections. Upon the arrival of a connection request, this mechanism must …

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 …

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 …

For a wavelength-routed network in which connection requests are arriving and departing at
high rates, an appropriate control scheme must be implemented to set up light paths for …

This paper presents a novel hybrid distributed fault-management protocol for combating
single-fiber failures in mesh-based DWDM optical networks. The proposed hybrid approach …

Traffic grooming in optical networks has gained significant importance in recent years due to
the prevailing sub-wavelength traffic requirement of end-users. In this paper, a methodology …

Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology has been improving steadily in recent
years, with existing systems capable of providing huge amounts of bandwidth on a single …

Modern telecommunications are supporting every day a progressive demand for services,
which in turn generates greater requirements from the attention capacity in photonic …
