However, an actual Connection Admission Control (CAC) implementation inside the resource reservation protocol - traffic engineering extension (RSVP-TE) in MPLS-TE networks does not provide the ability of effective decision making, since the applied threshold CAC lacks of the capability to consider QoS policies on MPLS-TE network nodes. This prevents an effective end-to-end QoS control in a fully dynamic, application driven Label Switched Path (LSP) setup scenario. Current paper presents the practical fuzzy-CAC driven MPLS-TE realization, which is based on the specific implementation of fuzzy-CAC algorithm over an RSVP-TE agent. Fuzzy-CAC implementation is applied to a testbed where a client application requests a real-time data transfer through the MPLS-TE network, which results in dynamic LSP setup and exclusion. The admission control is performed upon service request based on QoS class requirements and network resource availability. The differentiated traffic treatment on per-flow basis is realized through employment of IF-THEN rule based expert knowledge. Effective traffic management is achieved in a best and worst case scenarios and thus, it validates fuzzy-CAC as a candidate for RSVP-TE protocol enhancement for application driven QoS provisioning in MPLS-TE networks and Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) networks in the nearest future.","PeriodicalId":269137,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 12th International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130148309","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}

Treating each cell independently, the desynchronized static round-robin (DSRR) cell dispatching scheme can evenly distribute cells to the central switching modules, however, its frequent change of the input switching module connection pattern causes a serious OOS problem to the IQ-SMM architecture. Therefore large reassembly buffers are required at the output ports and high reassembly delay can degrade the multicast services. MF-DSRR can reduce the OOS problem and leverages the principle of DSRR to obtain a low complexity, however it fails to eliminate the in-packet OOS where cells of the same packet are disordered. Using more resources compared to MF-DSRR, MFRR is able to eliminate the in-packet OOS, resulting in a significant reduction of reassembly buffer size and delay.","PeriodicalId":269137,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 12th International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125491009","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, classic Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) solutions are inadequate to be adopted by WRPNs. The main issues regard physical impairments and QoT, processing time and setup delay, lightpath (LP) survivability and minimization of resource allocation. In case of critical services provisioning, LPs must have tight QoT guarantees, even in case of network instability and failures. This work presents two new impairment-aware RWA (IA-RWA) algorithms, specifically tailored for the provisioning of critical services. These algorithms guarantee absolute bandwidth and Bit Error Rate (BER) for LPs, assuring survivability in case of single network failures. A high parallelizable, combined RWA engine minimizes resource utilization without increasing setup time. The performance of the proposed algorithms are evaluated with respect to a modified version of a previously proposed IA-RWA algorithm that takes into account QoT and survivability.","PeriodicalId":269137,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 12th International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134066897","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 model is demonstrated to be quite accurate in spite of the difficulty in capturing correlation effects especially for small switch sizes. The model is also applied to calculate the number of optical components needed to design the optical switch according to packet loss requirements. The impact of the adoption of multiple fiber interfaces is outlined in terms of the remarkable saving in the number of wavelength converters employed, while increasing at the same time the number of optical gates needed by the space switching subsystem.

However, in many existing networks, some (if not all) nodes do not support multicast, i.e., they cannot create multiple outgoing flows with one incoming data flow. In this paper, the authors propose an algorithm for multicast tree computation in networks with multicast incapable nodes. Paths that originate at the source and traversing all destinations are computed first; if such paths cannot be found, destinations are partitioned into subsets and traverse paths are computed over each subset, which is executed recursively until feasible trees can be built based on traverse paths found or no further partition is possible. Two procedures for traverse path computation are presented and their respective advantages are discussed, in terms of both complexity and solution optimality. The algorithm is also shown to be very effective in finding multicast trees even if only a few multicast capable nodes exist in the network.","PeriodicalId":269137,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 12th International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128610618","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}

These ARP-based Ethernet Switches rely on the race between the replicas of a standard ARP Request packet flooded over all links, to discover the minimum latency path to the destination host, complemented in the opposite direction by the ARP Reply packet directed to the source host. Implementations show that the protocol is loop free, does not block links, is fully transparent to hosts and neither needs a spanning tree protocol to prevent loops nor a link state protocol to obtain low latency paths. Implementations in Linux and OpenFlow on NetFPGA show inherent robustness and fast reconfiguration. Previous simulations showed a superior performance (throughput and delay) than the Spanning Tree Protocol and similar to shortest path routing, with lower complexity.","PeriodicalId":269137,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 12th International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132735410","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 uses the structure of clusters to create a virtual backbone useful to broadcast control messages in the entire network. Clustering and virtual structure are used to reduce the routing overhead. Besides, fish eye technique is used to more reduce the routing overhead.
