Passive optical network (PON) technologies have become an important broadband access
technology as a result of the growing demand for bandwidth-hungry video-on-demand …

The present market scenario demands an integration of process planning and scheduling to
stay competitive with others. In the present work, an integrated process planning and …

Present-day networks are being challenged by dramatic increases in data rate demands of
emerging applications. A new network architecture, incorporating “optical flow switching,” …

Das Internetprotokoll (IP) spielt eine tragende Rolle bei der Entwicklung von Netzwerken
und Diensten. In diesem maßgeblichen Werk werden vielfältige Aspekte des …

We consider the problem of traffic grooming in WDM path, star, and tree networks. Traffic
grooming is a variant of the well-known logical topology design, and is concerned with the …

We propose a new protection scheme, which we term partial path protection (PPP), to select
end-to-end backup paths using local information about network failures. PPP designates a …

The paper proposes an original wavelength-division multiplexing slotted-ring network
architecture with nodes that use one fixed transmitter and fixed receivers. It is shown …

The growth of data and Internet traffic, has spurred significant changes in traffic patterns
across US long-haul backbone networks. Internet traffic tends to travel much longer …

At present there is a strong worldwide push toward bringing fiber closer to individual homes
and businesses. Another evolutionary step is the cost-effective all-optical integration of fiber …

As wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) channel spacing continues to decrease in size,
and with the application of tunable lasers in dense wavelength-division-multiplexing …
