Energy consumption and the concomitant Green House Gases (GHG) emissions of network
infrastructures are becoming major issues in the Information and Communication Society …

To efficiently support the high rate and the high dynamicity of the traffic in metro networks, an
optical packet-switched WDM ring, named ECOFRAME, is proposed. The key features of the …

Traditionally, optical networks have been designed with the objective of minimizing the
capital expenditure (CAPEX) without considering the operative costs (OPEX), due for …

This paper proposes a new wavelength conversion algorithm in a DWDM network using
online routing. The model for the algorithm has been theoretically developed and the …

The present paper considers a WDM optical packet ring in which multiple wavelengths are
operated in a synchronous manner. This architecture attempts to blend packet switching …

Advances in wavelength-division multiplexing technology have made it possible to design
point-to-point transmission systems with unprecedented per-wavelength high capacity. This …

The paper compares the optimal power-saving designs of unidirectional WDM rings using
three well-known architectures, ie, first-generation, all-optical, and multi-hop (hybrid) …

When compared to first generation and single-hop optical networks, multihop and multirate
(M&M) networks have the advantage of significantly reducing network cost under a variety of …

Due to the ever-growing network capacity demand, energy-efficient and scalable networking
solutions are needed in all networking segments. This paper focuses on the metro segment …
