The year-by-year increase in electricity consumption significantly affects all nations today
from environmental, social, and economic perspectives. Various studies show that, among …

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 …

Nowadays, people's daily lives are increasingly dependent on Internet applications provided
by cloud service providers that replicate their content among geographically distributed …

Advanced services require a high bitrate, eg, multigigabit, multicast connectivity being
provided by core transport networks. Multicast services can be supported either by one …

With the development of multimedia services in Internet technology, there comes a big gap
between bandwidth utilization and the blocking probability for multicast requests in the …

This work investigates the problem of designing, engineering, and evaluating metropolitan
area transparent optical networks for the provisioning of multicast sessions. Apart from …

In this paper, we design an optimization problem for grooming of multicast traffic requests in
WDM mesh networks. The objective is to minimize the network cost by minimizing the …

The dynamic multicast traffic grooming is an efficient way to minimize the utilization of
network resources such as wavelengths, transmitters, receivers and splitters and minimizing …

The ever-increasing popularity and traffic volume of multicast applications motivates the
need for development of methodologies for traffic management and network design that …

In a many-to-many session, a participant distributes and receives traffic flows to/from all
others in the same session. It is desirable to achieve both high resource utilization and low …
