The article first presents a broad overview of the fault management mechanisms involved in
deploying a survivable optical mesh network which employs optical crossconnects. We …

In a wavelength-division-muliplexing (WDM) optical network, the failure of network elements
(eg, fiber links and cross connects) may cause the failure of several optical channels …

This book takes a pragmatic approach to deploying state-of-the-art optical networking
equipment in metro-core and backbone networks. The book is oriented towards practical …

We consider an IP-over-WDM network in which network nodes employ optical
crossconnects and IP routers. Nodes are connected by fibers to form a mesh topology. Any …

This study investigates the problem of fault management in a wavelength-division
multiplexing (WDM)-based optical mesh network in which failures occur due to fiber cuts. In …

This paper investigates survivable lightpath provisioning and fast protection switching for
generic mesh-based optical networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) …

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 static provisioning problem in wavelength-routed optical networks has been studied for
many years. However, service providers are still facing the challenges arising from the …

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 …
