PRS achieves packet delay and loss performance comparable to that of packet-switched networks, without requiring large buffering capacity, or burst scheduling across a large number of wavelengths at the core routers. PRS combines proactive channel reservation with periodic shaping of ingress-egress traffic aggregates to hide the offset latency and approximate the utilization/buffering characteristics of discrete-time queues with periodic arrival streams. A channel scheduling algorithm imposes constraints on burst departure times to ensure efficient utilization of wavelength channels and to maintain the distance between consecutive bursts through the network. Results obtained from simulation using TCP traffic over carefully designed topologies indicate that PRS consistently achieves channel utilization above 90% with modest buffering requirements.","PeriodicalId":187370,"journal":{"name":"OptiComm: Optical Networking and Communications Conference","volume":"25 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132287443","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}

A novel approach of arc-reversal graph transformation is introduced. We verify the ILP and compare it with three reported approaches for solving the segment shared protection problem, namely CDR, PROMISE, and OPDA, by launching dynamic connection requests on two network topologies. From the experiment results, we observe that the ILP can always yield better results in terms of the total cost taken by the working and protection segments. We conclude that the proposed ILP formulation is a step ahead of the most state-of-the-art techniques in solving the shared protection problem, which provides a means of evaluating any other segment shared protection algorithms.","PeriodicalId":187370,"journal":{"name":"OptiComm: Optical Networking and Communications Conference","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126415648","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}

Optical networks get upgraded to the latest technology slowly with time, with only a subset of nodes being upgraded to the latest technology. The optical networks are thus comprised of nodes employing heterogeneous switching architectures. In this paper, we develop a framework, called Methodology for Information Collection and Routing in Optical Networks (MICRON), for connection establishment in WDM grooming networks with heterogeneous switching architectures. We illustrate with examples some of the information that could be collected from a link. The link information may be combined in a variety of ways to obtain different properties of a path. We complete the MICRON framework by providing a generic channel assignment procedure that may be adapted to implement different channel assignment schemes. The framework can be easily implemented with simple traffic engineering extensions to the already existing routing protocols in the wide-area networks.","PeriodicalId":187370,"journal":{"name":"OptiComm: Optical Networking and Communications Conference","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127506016","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}

JET is a reserve-a-fixed-duration reservation algorithm, i.e., wavelength channels are allocated exactly for the burst transmission time. As the exact start and end times of all bursts have to be recorded and processed for JET burst reservation, several publications assumed its realization to be prohibitively complex. This paper proposes an architecture for a hardware-based reservation module for JET. This architecture has been described in VHDL and synthesized on an FPGA representative for today's programmable logic technology. The proposed solution is evaluated under dynamic traffic based on timing and resource utilization results taken from the FPGA realization. The results of the performance evaluation prove that with this reservation module JET can even be realized for burst durations in the microsecond range.","PeriodicalId":187370,"journal":{"name":"OptiComm: Optical Networking and Communications Conference","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128882948","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}

Often the network topology permits multiple protected groups of working paths (WPs) to share protection bandwidth and other network resources. The Common Control and Measurement Plane (CCAMP) working group in the IETF has defined an (M:N)n shared recovery scheme, in which defined n WP groups each consisting of N WPs and M backup paths (BPs) share some or all of the BP resources. In this paper, we present an analytical model that predicts protection blocking probability as a function of BP resource sharing for this shared recovery scheme. We also propose an algorithm that efficiently manages BP resources while doing protection assignments. We provide numerical results that highlight the benefits and tradeoffs involved. Our analytical model can assist in providing engineering guidelines to service providers so that they can effectively allocate resources and manage protection and restoration in their networks.","PeriodicalId":187370,"journal":{"name":"OptiComm: Optical Networking and Communications Conference","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115096205","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}

Beat noise is the main performance limitation for an implementation using an incoherent receiver. Therefore, a channel model with both interference and beat noise is presented. From the channel model a maximum likelihood soft decoding method is derived. The system considered is a passive optical network with tree topology where the headend can use information about the number of active users to improve the receiver performance. In order to simulate systems with forward error correction (FEC) and soft decoding an efficient simulation method is used. The simulations show that the performance is highly overestimated when the beat noise is neglected. The results also show that it is better to use FEC to expand the bandwidth compared with only using CDMA spreading, in particular since the efficiency of FEC can be further increased with soft decoding.","PeriodicalId":187370,"journal":{"name":"OptiComm: Optical Networking and Communications Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121066541","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}

We demonstrate that this architecture can significantly save the number of wavelength converters while still achieving excellent blocking performance. We further investigate the wavelength converter placement problem. Simulation results indicate that, with appropriate wavelength assignment and wavelength converter placement scheme, the performance of the wavelength-routed all-optical network with only 1-5% of wavelength conversion capability is very close to that of the networks with full-complete wavelength conversion capability.","PeriodicalId":187370,"journal":{"name":"OptiComm: Optical Networking and Communications Conference","volume":"5285 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129788951","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}
