Abstract
Semi-filterless optical network (semi-FON) is a promising scheme for upgrading the aggregation networks and anycast service provisioning problem is one of the key issues in semi-FON. In this paper, we investigate this problem and propose three anycast service provisioning algorithms, namely IT resource balancing (ITRB) algorithm, spectrum resource balancing (SRB) algorithm, and spectrum and IT resource balancing (SnITRB) algorithm. The algorithms balance the use of IT or/and spectrum resources in different datacenters and links, in order to achieve the goal of serving more anycast requests. Simulation results show that, the proposed algorithms can reduce blocking probability of anycast requests to a certain extent, while the SnITRB algorithm has the best performance. Quantitatively, relative to the baseline, the SnITRB algorithm achieves an improvement in blocking probability ranging from 84% to 100% when the IT resources are sufficient, and up to 59% when the IT resources are insufficient.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
