Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is the next step towards leveraging the capabilities of the optical fiber, especially for wide-area backbone optical data communication networks. In this paper, we analyze some of the key architecture and discuss the models corresponding approaches and advances made toward addressing these issues. We first analyze the different IP/WDM networking framework models,...
The advantages and issues in deploying a fast photonic network on top of a reconfigurable WDM network are discussed. The agile photonic network is deployed as another user of the reconfigurable optical WDM network (RON), with the reconfigurable optical switches setting up the optical circuits that define the virtual topology for the agile network. The services provided by the agile network are then...
In two-layer networks there are various ways to improve virtual and physical topology and capacity allocations in terms of cost. One way is introducing bypass links, to reduce the amount of switching in the upper layer. Our approach for finding the bypass links and the corresponding bypass nodes is based on a mixed integer programming approach. Our starting point is a network without bypass functionality...
We propose a linear formulation for traffic routing in optical networks after the virtual topology design (VTD). The formulation maximizes the amount of traffic the network is able to accept, through minimizing the residual capacity in established lightpaths. The results suggest that it is feasible to preserve enough open capacity to avoid disruption of connections and blocking of future traffic demands...
In this paper, we propose a new heuristic algorithm, protection based on survivable integrated auxiliary graph (PSIAG), to tolerate the single-link failure in waveband switching optical networks. The survivable integrated auxiliary graph (SIAG) contains single virtual topology layer and multiple waveband-plane layers, and it can well solve the routing and waveband assignment. In PSIAG, we can well...
The Automatically Switched Optical Networks (ASONs) and the Generalized Multi Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) control plane are envisaged to play an important role in the next generation Internet. They provide optical networks with intelligence and automation and they enable the Multilayer Traffic Engineering (MTE) paradigm which facilitates the IP/optical adaptive integrated routing. This paper...
We consider the reconfiguration problem in multi- fiber WDM optical networks. In a network with evolving traffic, the virtual topology may not remain optimal, leading to degradation of network performance. However, adapting the virtual topology to the changing traffic may lead to service disruption. This optimization problem hence captures the trade-off between network performance and number of reconfigurations...
