1 IP Over Light
نویسنده
چکیده
Fiber-optic technology can be considered our savior for meeting our ever increasing needs because of it’s potentially limitless capabilities like huge bandwidth, low signal attenuation, minimal power requirement and low cost. DWDM is a technology that enables multiple wavelengths to be multiplexed onto one single fiber thereby creating many virtual fibers each capable of carrying a different signal. The basic premise is that with increasing data intensive applications, there emerges an acute need for very high-bandwidth transport network facilities whose capabilities are much beyond what the current high-speed ATM networks can provide.

Mesh implementation of light-trails: a solution to IP centric communication
Light-trails communication [1] proposes a solution for implementing a conceptual framework for IP centric communication in the optical domain which is a combination of node architecture and protocol for realizing efficient optical communications from IP bursts to dynamic lightpaths. In this paper we introduce a Light-trails solution that is applicable to mesh networks. Contrary to existing prop...
متن کاملTransporting IP Packets over Light: A Survey
Optical networks appear to be the solution of choice for providing a faster networking infrastructure that can meet the explosive growth of the Internet. One of the key issues that needs to be addressed is how optical networks can be used to carry IP traffic. In this paper, we survey some of the techniques that have been proposed in the literature for transporting IP traffic over an optical net...
متن کاملOptical nonlinear effects on the performance of IP traffic over GMPLS-based DWDM networks
With the introduction of Generalized multiprotocol label switching in the common control plane for optical crossconnects and electrical switching devices, the integration of IP and dense wavelength division multiplexing can be efficiently achieved. When IP traffic flows are directly mapped to optical channels without SDH inter-layer, the bursty nature of IP traffic may have significant effect o...
متن کاملLight-dependent K+ Channels in the Mollusc Onchidium Simple Photoreceptors Are Opened by cGMP
Light-dependent K(+) channels underlying a hyperpolarizing response of one extraocular (simple) photoreceptor, Ip-2 cell, in the marine mollusc Onchidium ganglion were examined using cell-attached and inside-out patch-clamp techniques. A previous report (Gotow, T., T. Nishi, and H. Kijima. 1994. Brain Res. 662:268-272) showed that a depolarizing response of the other simple photoreceptor, A-P-1...
متن کاملUsing Self-management for Establishing Light Paths in Optical Networks: an Overview
Current optical networks are generally composed of multi-service optical switches, which enable forwarding of data at multiple levels. Huge flows at the packet-level (IP-level) may be moved to the optical-level, which is faster than the packet-level. Such move could be beneficial since congested IP networks could be off-loaded, leaving more resources for other IP flows. At the same time, the fl...
متن کاملEffect of xylazine and yohimbine on the phasic pain during the estrous cycle in the rat
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of α2-adrenergic agonist (xylazine) andantagonist (yohimbine) on phasic pain during estrous cycle in female rats. Adult female rats weighing 180-220 g were kept under controlled temperature (21-24°C) and light/dark conditions (light on at 6:00 a.m. and light off at 6:00 p.m.). Animals were divided into four groups: 1) control group whic...
