With the development of networking technologies, global Internet traffic is constantly
increasing. Moreover, various traffic types associated with a variety of network services and …

ISP networks have become a critical infrastructure in our society. Traffic in these networks is
growing and is increasingly dominated by a small number of large CDNs connecting at …

The constantly increasing traffic volume triggers the fast development of new optimization
methods for backbone optical networks. Operators seek new ways to improve several …

The knowledge about future traffic volumes is beneficial for the network operators in many
areas. Short-term forecasting of multiple traffic types helps with efficient resource utilization …

The constantly increasing internet traffic and rising network requirements trigger fast
development and implementation of new networking architectures and technologies …

Relentless competition among communications ser-vice providers, increasing expectations
of users, and escalating variety of new applications and services trigger the need to develop …

In multilayer IP over optical networks, the optical layer provides the lightpaths to transmit
aggregated time-varying requests from the packet layer. By exploiting the traffic grooming …

With the ever-increasing traffic load, the prediction of future traffic patterns can bring
significant benefits to network optimization. The appropriate choice of a forecasting model is …

In this paper, we introduce elastic optical bypasses to offload traffic bursts in Elastic Optical
Networks. Firstly, the principles of the proposed mechanisms are explained. Secondly, the …

The problem of resource provisioning in multi-layer networks is an important issue. We
discuss and analyze resource provisioning in terms of the visibility of optical resources for …
