Extreme-scale science applications are highly innovative and constantly evolving. They are expected to generate data in the petabyte and exabyte ranges. This data needs to be transferred, processed, and analyzed at remote locations. A flexible data retrieval service is needed, where a user requesting data retrieval from a remote site can have a choice between replicated storage sites. Elastic Optical...
A flexible data retrieval service is needed in data center networks, where erasure coding has been widely adopted. Elastic Optical Networks, based on Nyquist wavelength division multiplexing or optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is an ideal backbone for data centers, since they can efficiently utilize the optical fiber's bandwidth in an elastic manner by partitioning the bandwidth...
Information and communication technology (ICT) plays an important role in worldwide electricity consumption. Existing routing approaches, oblivious to location-dependent energy prices, incur considerable cost to network operators. We propose a new routing approach in order to minimize electricity cost of core network under multiple electricity market environments. The proposed approach is based on...
Multicast communication in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks is traditionally supported by the assumption that the optical crossconnects are multicast capable, i.e., they are capable of switching an incoming signal to more than one output interface. A naïve method of supporting this functionality in a multicast-incapable (MI) environment is by creating a virtual topology consisting of...
In this paper we examine provisioning holding-time-aware dynamic circuits using a technique called lightpath switching (LPS). Instead of using the same lightpath for the duration of the data transmission, in LPS we allow a request to switch lightpaths over time. Data transmission may begin on one lightpath from the source to destination, then at a later time a different lightpath from the source to...
