This article intends to p rovide a quantitative a ssessment of the performance of adaptive and nonadaptive applications when carried over an optical backbone network. Specifically, the study examines the impact of protection at t he optical l ayer, focusing on Optical Shared Protection Rings for the transport of IP based premium services. Using entropy as a measure of disruption in the network,...

The Semiparametric Least Squares (SLS) estimation for single index models is studied. Applying the isometric regression by Ayer et al (1955), the method minimizes the mean squared errors with respect to both finite and infinite dimensional parameters. A proof of consistency and an upper bound of convergence rates is offered. As an application example of the SLS estimation, asymptotic normality ...
