Optical Metropolitan Networks: Packet Format, MAC Protocols and Quality of Service
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical Packet Switching (OPS) is among the most promising solutions for next generation metropolitan networks. The increase of packetbased services (video on demand, etc.) is pushing metropolitan networks providers to renew their infrastructures. Today, metropolitan networks are based on SONET/SDH circuit-switched networks, which are becoming inefficient and costly to support new requirements of quality of service and bandwidth of sporadic packet-based traffic. To solve this problem, many new network solutions are proposed recently, including Next Generation SONET/SDH, Resilient Packet Ring, etc. Among others, the optical networking technology appears a good choice thanks to its following benefits: huge transmission capacity, high reliability, and high availability. This paper is devoted to provide an overview of the metropolitan network infrastructure and particularly to its evolution towards OPS networks. It also highlights performance issues in terms of optical packet format, medium access control protocol and quality of service, as well as traffic engineering issues.

متن کاملA priority-aware CSMA/CP MAC protocol for the all-optical IP-over-WDM metropolitan area ring network
The paper proposes a priority-aware MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol for a core metropolitan area network in the next generation Internet, which is an OPS (Optical Packet Switch) network that all-optically and directly transfers IP packets over a WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) ring network. It uses the concepts of CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access), CP (Carrier Preemption), and th...

Medium access control (MAC) protocols, responsible for sharing the channel among users, are receiving more attention especially in vehicular networks due to the highly dynamic nature of the environment in which they operate. Typically MAC protocols were designed for one traffic class such as voice, video or data as all of them have different characteristics. In this paper, we introduce a modifi...

متن کاملA QoS-aware MAC protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
Considering traditional MAC protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks cannot provide service differentiation for different traffic classes, we propose a Self-adaption QoS-aware MAC protocol (SQ-MAC). The protocol can provide collision-free time slots for nodes, and take different contention window size for different traffic classes. It can also introduce virtual multiqueue and relatively fair sche...
