We consider an elastic all-optical network, where each node is multicast-capable and does
not support spectrum conversion. In such a network, for a given set of static multicast …

We propose and investigate a subtree scheme for all-optical multicast routing, modulation
level and spectrum allocation (AOM-RMSA) in elastic optical networks. A multicast request is …

New applications require conveying huge bitrate from a source node to multiple
destinations. As a result, point-to-multipoint (P2MP) connections need to be established on …

Secure multicast services (SMSs), such as video conferences and multi-site backup of data
centers, need to adopt multicast technology to transmit data among multiple parties with high …

Quantum key distribution (QKD) has become a promising option for transmitting sensitive
data due to the increased maturity of QKD devices and the threat scalable quantum …

The sub-tree-based optical multicasting scheme provides a spectrum-efficient approach to
providing emerging multicast services in optical data center networks. Moreover, multicast …

The light-tree based multicast service aggregation (LT-MSA) scheme provides a cost-
efficient method to accommodate a large number of finer-grained multicast services in …

Multicast is an important service type in both terrestrial and space communication networks
but has security issues because more than one destination node can receive information …

Live events and high quality video delivery are pushing the introduction of dynamic
multicasting solutions. In this paper we discuss the most recent technologies enabling …

Explains the importance of Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) and how they can be
implemented by the world's carriers This book discusses Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) …
