The FWM effect is one of the most severe physical impairments to be considered for the future unify either optical or photonic networks since the accumulation of FWM crosstalk causes a fatal degradation in the wavelength-routed optical network performance. A novel cost function is introduced based upon an impairment-constraint-based routing (ICBR) approach, taking into account the network utilization resources and the physical impairment due to FWM crosstalk. Simulations results show that the proposed algorithm leads to a more realistic system performance comparing to those related approaches of dynamic RWA without considering physical impairments into the routing scheme.","PeriodicalId":155835,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132085918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed framework relies on the combination of a two-way reservation protocol and a burst assembly scheme with a burstification delay enforced to be the round-trip-time and which incorporates a Least Mean Square filter to predict burst length. Upon the arrival of the first packet in the burst queue, a control packet (setup message) is generated and transmitted to reserve resources, based on the prediction filter. In this way the reservation process starts/ends simultaneously with the burst assembly process. In this paper, we present the main features of the proposed scheme, evaluate its performance for both homogeneous and non-homogeneous traffic and we further propose an extension with aggressive over-provisioning of resources that can guarantee lossless operation even for extremely cases of bursty traffic.","PeriodicalId":155835,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling","volume":"283 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133371703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is intended to provide a simple, low cost, scalable solution capable of delivering broadband access to end users, by passively sharing a single optical fiber transmission system between several packets. While downstream traffic is broadcast to all packets, the access of upstream traffic to the fiber has to be arbitrated in order to avoid collisions. This arbitration mechanism and more generally, bandwidth distribution and QoS Provisioning, have been left to the implementer. Interleaved Polling with Adaptive Cycle Time (IPACT) is one of the earliest proposed schemes for bandwidth distribution in Ethernet PON (EPON) and has been extensively used as a benchmark by many subsequent allocation schemes. In this paper, we propose an analytical model which yields approximate values for mean queue length and mean packet delay in an EPON with the Gated IPACT scheme under the assumption of Poisson arrivals. We show by simulation that the model is remarkably accurate over the whole load range. We use the model to demonstrate that all ONUs experiment performance degradation in case of local overload by some ONUs, thus showing the necessity of correcting somehow the Gated policy in order to avoid this phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":155835,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling","volume":"7 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113980834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, at the transport plane, the bandwidth reserved for voice traffic is a key parameter necessary to ensure performance guarantees for VoIP communications. This paper addresses this important piece of traffic engineering: determining the bandwidth requirements for voice traffic aggregated. To achieve our goal we first define a model for a generic voice source which embodies any current type of voice source (which we name Generalized VoIP source). Then, we extend the fluid model with our new GVoIP source to obtain a loss and delay prediction for each multiplexer node. Finally, we design a simple but efficient dimensioning algorithm that provides the bandwidth requirement for a desired performance when multiplexing a number of homogeneous GVoIP sources. Using of dimensioning algorithm we compare the bandwidth requirements for two transport schemes VoIP over MPLS and VoMPLS. Results confirm that our extended multiplexing analytical model improves the estimation of the bandwidth requirement of a voice traffic trunk over MPLS, whereas any other on-off based dimensioning model is not valid for these kind of codecs.","PeriodicalId":155835,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123559594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a switch consists of multiple fabrics linked together by direct interconnections and optical delay lines. Having more number of optical delay lines and direct interconnections per fabric pair reduces contention and results in a reduced blocking probability. However, due to the size and cost of optical delay lines, it is desirable to minimize their number for a specific blocking probability. We propose an analytical model for the switch in order to study its scalability and packet/burst blocking probability. The switch is then dimensioned for given values of blocking probability and a given range of input load. Simulation results concerning switch scalability by taking into account the most relevant physical effects are also shown. We then consider the minimal practical switch size and discuss how the switch can be dimensioned with a combination of delay lines and direct interconnections to achieve our target of a certain blocking probability and range of input load using a minimum number of fiber delay lines.","PeriodicalId":155835,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122363495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this way, software components implementing routing and/or wavelength assignment are turned into Web services made available over the Internet and accessible through a simplified interface. This dispenses the user to perform a local implementation, allows better code reuse, and offers an easy way to confront results from distinct models. Moreover, making tools available on the Web increases their credibility and visibility. In our approach, a multilayer network description (MND) format is used to describe both input data and computed results. It offers common basic structure while guaranteeing a large extensibility, and thus makes possible the interaction between various tools.

A location-transparent scheduled grid demand specifies only an amount of computing resources needed in a specified time interval to process input data. The network node generating a demand is called a client node. There are several network nodes which have sufficient resources for a demand. These nodes are called resource nodes. An algorithm is used to choose a resource node to reserve a specified amount of computing resources and provision a lightpath between the resource node and the client node. Given a set of location-transparent scheduled grid demands, it is required to provision the best lightpath (i.e. wavelength resources) as well as computing resources available during the specified time interval for each demand so as to optimize a certain objective function. In our work, we develop integer linear programming (ILP) formulations for 2 objective functions: 1) Given a network capacity, maximize the number of demands accepted; 2) Minimize the total number of wavelength-links to honor a given set of demands. Because the ILP algorithms are computationally expensive, we also develop heuristics to deal with large networks. The simulation results show that our heuristics achieve good performance.","PeriodicalId":155835,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115661546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
