Space division multiplexing (SDM) seems to be a promising solution with the scaling potential to overcome the possible capacity crunch problem in optical backbone networks. The main goal of this paper is to provide a detailed analysis of three SDM scenarios, namely, SDM-Fixed, SDM-Single, and SDM-Flexible in terms of the spectrum usage and the wastage of spectral resources due to guardbands and resource...
Recently, the Content Oriented Networking (CON) has become a recognized approach that is gaining extensive acceptance and deployment. At the same time, Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) are considered as a very promising approach for effective bandwidth allocation in optical networks. In this paper, we consider various approaches to content distribution in EON protected by the Dedicated Path Protection...
Overlay communication networks create logical structures at the top of the Internet. Such a concept is also an efficient approach in the context of multicast applications. Moreover, the overlay multicast has actually outperformed network layer-based multicast provided by the IP protocol and attracted developers of multimedia systems, recently. In this paper, we take a look at modeling techniques and...
From the network layer perspective, the problem of burst losses is one of the most challenging problems which restrain the development of optical burst switching (OBS) networks. Indeed, OBS is a buffer-less technology and the consequent lack of guarantees for data delivery may affect significantly the quality of service (QoS) perceived by end users. To overcome these obstacles, dedicated network mechanisms...
The problem of burst losses in OBS networks has an impact on the service quality perceived by end users. In order to guarantee certain level of Service Quality (QoS) in terms of burst losses, wavelength resources have to be dimensioned properly. In this paper, we address the problem of the Virtual Topology (VT) design that concerns the establishment of explicit routing paths and the allocation of...
