Distributed Sharing of Functionalities and Resources in Survivable GMPLS-Controlled WSONs

Agent-Controlled Sharing of Distributed Resources in User Networks

In this chapter, we evaluate the feasibility of intelligent and distributed control of shared resources in user-managed networks. The user-managed network paradigm has become possible with the advent of broadband wireless networking technologies such as IEEE 802.11. In those networks, node cooperation can optimize the usage of shared external accesses to the Internet (set of links between the u...

Sharing Resources in Distributed Systems

Sharing Distributed Resources in LearnWeb2.0

The success of recent Web 2.0 platforms shows that people share information and resources within their social community and beyond. The use of these platforms in an e-learning context has been limited, though. One reason for this is the fact that most of these platforms only support specific media types, and teachers trying to assemble learning resources have to login to and use several Web 2.0...

GMPLS Based Survivable Photonic Network Architecture

The objective of this paper is to survey the Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) based recovery technology for optical transport networks. This paper introduces standardization activities of the GMPLS based recovery technology in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), and recent progress of related experiments. In addition, this paper extracts requirements for the GMPLS base...

Survivable GMPLS networks with QoS guarantees

A scheme is proposed to provide multiple QoS guarantees for survivable generalised multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) networks. The shared risk link group (SRLG) information is considered to provide failure-independent protection. Based on the problem formulation, the service level agreement (SLA) parameters, such as the expected recovery failure probability, the expected recovery time and t...
