چکیده

Traditionally, optical networks have been designed with the objective of minimizing the capital expenditure (CAPEX) without considering the operative costs (OPEX), due for instance to energy consumption. However, the increase of energy consumption and corresponding costs and the challenges imposed by the environmental issues (such as the global warming and the limited oil reserves) are demanding for a more responsible energy usage, including in the optical networking field. The paper discusses how the mandate of saving energy can be included into the network design process. Power-saving design of WDM metro rings with traffic grooming capabilities is presented and compared against CAPEX-optimized designs. Considerations on the power efficiency and cost efficiency of different ring architectures are derived.

Wavelength Reuse for Efficient Transport of Variable-Size Packets in a Metro WDM Network

Metro WDM networks play an important role in the emerging Internet hierarchy; they interconnect the backbone WDM networks and the local access networks. The current SONET/SDH–over–WDM–ring metro networks are expected to become a serious bottleneck — the so–called metro gap — as they are faced with an increasing amount of bursty data traffic and quickly increasing bandwidths in the backbone netw...

Significant Impact of P-cycles on Survivable WDM Optical Network

It is known that Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technique enables single fiber to carry huge amount of data but optical WDM networks are prone to failures, therefore survivability is a very important requirement in the design of optical networks. In this paper, a comprehensive review about survivability of WDM networks has been discussed focusing on scalable and efficient p-cycles resil...

Hierarchical Logical Topology in WDM Ring Networks with Limited ADMs

This paper presents a method for constructing logical topology in multi-hop WDM networks hierarchically. Our logical topology can be built over WDM ring networks with only three ADMs (Add-Drop Multiplexers) and transceivers per node. We aim to realize low-cost WDMs that can be deployed for MANs and LANs. Due to well constructed hierarchical topology, both the maximum distance between two nodes ...

Wavelength Reuse for Efficient Packet-Switched Transport in an AWG Based Metro WDM Network

Metro WDM networks play an important role in the emerging Internet hierarchy; they interconnect the backbone WDM networks and the local access networks. The current circuit-switched SONET/SDH-over-WDM-ring metro networks are expected to become a serious bottleneck — the so-called metro gap — as they are faced with an increasing amount of bursty packet data traffic and quickly increasing bandwid...
