Given a cross-layer network with logical and physical topologies, the survivable logical
topology routing problem is to route each link in the logical layer with a path in the physical …

In IP-over-WDM networks, protection can be offered at the optical layer or at the IP layer.
Today, it is well acknowledged that synergies need to be developed between the IP and …

Survivability in IP-over-WDM networks has already been extensively discussed in a series of
studies. While many studies assume an IP restoration scheme and focus on network …

Network Slicing is one of the key enabling technologies in 5G networks, as it allows the
same network infrastructure to host numerous services, characterized by different Quality of …

Access links that connect cloud data centers or enterprise networks to public networks are
important parts of the network infrastructure and make up considerable portions of overall …

The increase of multimedia applications results in the growing popularity of multicast
demands. At the same time, survivability in an optical network is very important because of …

Protection against failures, by providing alternative paths or backup equipment, is a
necessary component of network design. This chapter covers some of the major classes of …

Economic sustainability of the ever-increasing traffic requirements is built on the cost
reduction of IP-over-WDM backbone networks. These networks are composed of a set of IP …

In this paper, we address the network virtualization problem of embedding a unique shortest
path-based IP topology using lightpaths in a wavelength-routed network. We present an …
