Spectrum Defragmentation in Elastic Optical Networks
Elastic optical networks (EONs) provide fine bandwidth allocation granularity and enable scalable network management. In this paper, we review the strategies to alleviate spectrum fragmentation from both the preemptive and proactive perspectives. As for preemptive defragmentation, we investigate the characteristics of bandwidth fragmentation in EONs, and then discuss a fragmentation-aware routi...
متن کاملChallenges and requirements of a control plane for elastic optical networks
Elastic Optical Networks have emerged as a promising technology for the efficient use of optical network resources. Its adaptable characteristics and adjustable data rate enable operators to meet the diverse granularity of their clients needs. In order to automate an elastic optical network operation, a control plane is required. Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON) may already rely on a...
متن کاملA Differentiated Pricing Framework for Improving the Performance of the Elastic Traffics in Data Networks
Rate allocation has become a demanding task in data networks as diversity in users and traffics proliferate. Most commonly used algorithm in end hosts is TCP. This is a loss based scheme therefore it exhibits oscillatory behavior which reduces network performance. Moreover, since the price for all sessions is based on the aggregate throughput, losses that are caused by TCP affect other sessions...
متن کاملGuest Editorial Next-Generation Spectrum-Efficient and Elastic Optical Transport Networks
IMPROVING capacity utilization of the optical transport network has been an important research challenge for many years. Extensive research efforts have been devoted to developing approaches of grooming subwavelength traffic demand onto large wavelength capacity pipes. These efforts, however, only focus on efficiently utilizing the capacity pipes, without addressing the issue of fixed ITU-T gri...
متن کاملManagement of Spectral Resources in Elastic Optical Networks
Recent developments in the area of mobile technologies, data center networks, cloud computing and social networks have triggered the growth of a wide range of network applications. The data rate of these applications also vary from a few megabits per second (Mbps) to several Gigabits per second (Gbps), thereby increasing the burden on the Internet. To support this growth in Internet data traffi...
