One of the main features of a FMC network is that different types of traffic (that support, e.g., fixed and mobile network services) are transported over the same infrastructure, and the coexistence of different traffic types poses complex challenges in terms of capacity assignment as well as traffic management. If TWDM is the technology of choice, one question naturally raises: is it better to isolate different types of traffic over different wavelengths (i.e., Layer-1 convergence) or to share wavelength capacities among the different traffic types (i.e., Layer-2 convergence)? In the first case, to isolate the different types of traffic, we can assign logically-separated Virtual PONs (VPONs) to different traffic types, that will operate on disjoint sets of wavelengths. In the second case, different traffic types can share the same wavelengths in the network (i.e., a single convergent TWDM PON is used). We first model the problem resorting to a modified version of the classical bin packing problem. Then, through both numerical and qualitative considerations, we investigate the trade-offs between the two options under different scenarios in terms of traffic loads, user distribution, and network capacity.","PeriodicalId":282743,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling (ONDM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114992172","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}

Flex-grid networks support variable spectrum connections as a way to increase spectral efficiency and support future transmission rates. In addition, the use of flexible transponders further increases the flexibility of such networks, bringing closer the optical and the IP layers. The joint planning and operation of both layers becomes crucial to reduce the capital and operational costs. To this end, in this paper we examine the planning problem of a multilayer (ML) flex-grid network from the perspective of capital expenditure taking into account modular IP/MPLS routers at the optical network edges along with tunable optical transponders. We propose a concise ILP formulation that jointly solves the ML planning problem. The formulation is quite generic and can be used for flex- and fixed-grid networks employing flexible or fixed transponders.","PeriodicalId":282743,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling (ONDM)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133448658","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}

As time passes, end users presuppose network connectivity to be always available, and expect PONs to be highly dependable. Yet operators, from an economic view, are interested in the costs related to failures. Thus, PONs dependability and associated costs have been extensively studied, but only focusing on hardware failures. Contrarily, this paper performs a thorough analysis of the impact of software failures in failure-related costs. Based on real empirical data, software failures are thoroughly characterized and classified in four different categories according to their severity. Also, the effect of software failures on the behavior of PON's fiber protection and recovery mechanisms is detailed. Software failures are included into a Markov cost model, implementing a comprehensive cost framework. This way, the dependability-related costs of PONs are analyzed, accounting for hardware and software failures, as well as for the consequences of software failures on well-known PON protection mechanisms. Moreover, how the testing phase duration and user profile (residential or business) impact these costs is pinpointed.","PeriodicalId":282743,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling (ONDM)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125754656","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 builds upon the LOGON strategy, helps in modularizing the contribution of noise by the ROADMs and optical links and thereby making it suitable to use for network management and planning purposes. Further, the model was used to analyze critical configuration zones where improved OSNR conditions at the ROADMs result in increasing network capacity by 4.5 to 5 Tbps. Lastly, using this model an offline strategy is suggested for adding in-line EDFAs that has a potential to help service providers demonstrating capacity benefits of procuring addition equipment upfront. The results show that at the OSNR limit this strategy can improve the day one network capacity by 36% for the BT UK network when 10% blocking is reached.","PeriodicalId":282743,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling (ONDM)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130650536","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 sessions have to be established and maintained also in transit nodes, leading to complex and weighty control plane implementations. A novel technology called Segment Routing (SR) has been recently proposed to address these issues. SR relies on the source routing paradigm to provide traffic engineering solutions. In particular, the computed route for a given request is expressed as a segment list applied as an header to data packets at the ingress node. Specific algorithms are then required to perform the path computation and express the computed path through an effective segment list encoding (i.e., label stack), minimizing the segment list depth (SLD) (i.e., the number of labels included in the segment list). So far, no algorithms have been proposed to jointly provide path and segment list computation in SR-based networks. In this study, an efficient segment list encoding algorithm is proposed, guaranteeing optimal path computation and limited SLD in SR-based networks. The algorithm also accounts for equal-cost multiple paths and multiple constraints. The proposed algorithm is successfully applied to different network scenarios, demonstrating its flexibility in several use cases and showing effective performance in terms of segment list depth and introduced packet overhead.","PeriodicalId":282743,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling (ONDM)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130676468","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}

To study the impact on the blocking performance of the reduced number of OTN switches, we introduce an Integer Linear Problem that models the routing and switch resource assignment problem in a network equipped with the proposed switches. Being the problem NPhard, an heuristic is proposed to evaluate the network request blocking in static traffic scenario.
