چکیده
Traffic grooming deals with efficiently packing/unpacking low-speed connections onto high-capacity trunks. We examine traffic grooming for optical mesh networks by reviewing grooming-node architectures, traffic models, grooming policies, novel graph models, survivable grooming, and hierarchical switching, etc. @2003 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.4250) Networks; (060.4510) Optical communications

A Novel Protection Guaranteed, Quality of Transmission Aware Routing and Wavelength Assignment Algorithm for All-optical Networks
Transparent All Optical Networks carry huge traffic and any link failure can cause the loss of gigabits of data; hence protection and its guarantee becomes necessary at the time of failure. Many protection schemes were presented in the literature, but none of them speaks about protection guarantee. Also, in all optical networks, due to absence of regeneration capabilities, the physical layer i...
متن کاملReliable Multi-Path Provisioning for High-Capacity Backbone Mesh Network
We investigate reliable multi-path provisioning of traffic in high-capacity backbone mesh networks, e.g., nextgeneration SONET/SDH networks supporting virtual concatenation (VCAT). VCAT enables a connection to be inversely multiplexed on to multiple paths, a feature that may lead to significantly improved performance over conventional single-path provisioning. Other mesh networks such as those ...
متن کاملService Provisioning to Provide Per-Connection-Based Availability Guarantee in WDM Mesh Networks
Protection schemes for WDM mesh networks (dedicated-path, shared-path, etc.) are typically based on the single-failure scenario. When fiber-cut rate and network maintenance frequency are high, the network operator needs novel methods to handle multiple, near-simultaneous failures where different network components (including fiber spans) may have different failure rates. Service reliability det...
متن کاملExtension of segment protection for bandwidth efficiency and differentiated quality of protection in optical/MPLS networks
This paper investigates the problem of dynamic survivable lightpath provisioning against single node/link failures in optical mesh networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). We unify various forms of segment protection into generalized segment protection (GSP). In GSP, the working path of a lightpath is divided into multiple overlapping working segments, each of which is protect...
متن کاملA Priority-Aware Protection Technique for Quality of Service Enabled WDM Networks
Connection availability is considered as a critical metric, when providing differentiated services in WDM mesh networks. Indeed, one of the major concerns of optical network operators is related to improving the availability of services provided to their highest-class clients. Achieving this objective is possible through the use of the different classical protection schemes, namely the so-calle...
