چکیده
We review the evolution of traffic grooming from SDH/SONET to evolutionary flexible-grid and elastic-rate technologies and summarize the relevant issues. Sliceable optical transponder is identified as a novel technology that could potentially impact the future grooming paradigm.

A New Efficient Integrated Routing Scheme for SDH/SONET-WDM Multilayer Networks
This paper presents and evaluates the new Weighted Integrated Routing scheme to solve the problem of dynamic routing and traffic grooming in meshed SDH/SONET-WDM multilayer networks. Its performance is compared to non-integrated schemes using a cost model.
متن کاملGrooming Mechanisms in SONET/SDH and Next-Generation SONET/SDH
Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) are very closely related standards, which came into being primarily as a means of transporting telephone traffic in large volumes utilizing optical fiber transmission systems. SONET was brought forth by Bellcore (Telcordia), with coordination from International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as well as other standards or...
متن کاملExploiting the Benefits of Virtual Concatenation in Optical Transport Networks
We explore the benefits of virtual concatenation in SONET/SDH-based traffic-groomable mesh networks. Our results qualitatively and quantitively demonstrate that virtual concatenation can improve bandwidth efficiency, simplify network control, and balance network load. 1. Background Optical SONET/SDH networks are the dominant infrastructure to support data and voice traffic in backbone and metro...
متن کاملCost-Effective Approaches for Circuit Construction in WDM SONET Rings
High speed SONET rings are widely used as network infrastructure. In WDM/SONET rings, the SONET add/drop multiplexers (SADMs) can significantly increase the overall system cost. By traffic grooming, the number of SADMs as well as the number of wavelengths required can be reduced dramatically. Generally, traffic grooming includes two parts: circuit construction and circuit grooming. Efficient ci...
متن کاملAn algorithm for traffic grooming in WDM optical mesh networks with multiple objectives
This paper studies a traffic grooming in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) mesh networks for the SONET/SDH streams requested between node pairs. The traffic could be groomed at the access node before converting to an optical signal carried in the All-Optical network. We design a virtual topology with a given physical topology to satisfy multiple objectives and constraints. The grooming pro...
