CDN operators deploy load balancing between their data centers which may cause large traffic fluctuations within an ISP network. These traffic shifts in turn can lead to severe congestion situations if the traffic routing is not able to distribute the load properly. In this paper we first present a traffic demand model that includes the representation of YouTube traffic fluctuations caused by the dynamic data center selection mechanism applied in the YouTube CDN. This model is derived from measurements of the YouTube data center selection behavior and from traffic measurements in a large German ISP network. We then address the problem of determining a robust routing scheme using our traffic demand model. The target of the routing optimization is to minimize the maximum link utilization in an ISP network with given link capacities. Finally we apply our robust routing approach on different network topology and traffic demand scenarios and discuss the results.","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116313905","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}

Shared restoration is seen as a mechanism that can help in reducing the amount of extra resources needed, while still providing a reasonable capability to withstand failures. By having all restoration resources defined in advanced, Preplanned Shared Restoration (PSR) can reduce the down time between a failure occurrence and the conclusion of all steps of the restoration process. Noteworthy, PSR schemes can be employed either with fine granularity via electrical cross connects or with coarse granularity via optical cross connects or even using both, depending on the target Service Level Agreement (SLA). This paper overviews both flavors of PSR, looking at the requirements they impose to the transport network, comparing them qualitatively, and presenting a case study to compare their overprovisioning requirements, thereby hinting at which network and traffic scenarios are best fitted to using one or the other.","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132790676","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}

Regarding flexible transponder, three degrees of freedom such as modulation format, symbol rate and number of channels are exploited in order to obtain rate adaptive transmitters and receivers. In addition, digital signal processing is discussed to relax the hardware resources and to enhance transmission performance. As far as the optical networking is concerned, some functionalities present in node subsystems as optical amplifiers and filters in reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADM) / wavelength selective switches (WSS) are optimized and implemented to support the requirements needed in software defined networks (SDN).","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123210048","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}

Our solution uses only unmodified OSPF ECMP and does not require the installation of any new hardware or software elements by the network operator. The main problem with ECMP is that it can only divide the traffic in equal proportion among the least-cost paths. This is overcame in our Virtual Link Provisioning Framework by a simple technique: setting up virtual links alongside the existing ones, thereby tricking OSPF into non-even load-sharing. In this work we facilitate each network node to split the traffic - formerly it was only possible at the sources. This way we put considerably less requirements on the network infrastructure, yet achieve significantly better overall performance.","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122846304","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 packet optical convergence has been a major trend in optical networking, network operators are interested in packet optical convergence technologies. POTN (Packet Optical Transport Network) is a recently emerging technology that integrates optical, circuit and packet layer into a single converged device. It enhances bandwidth efficiency by optimizing multiple layer network and reduces operational costs compared with separated network architecture. In order to verify the feasibility of POTN, we designed core network architecture based on POTN for building a unified core transport network. We carried out intensive laboratory tests and a nationwide field trial. This paper presents our approach for deploying packet optical converged core network. And the paper introduces our trial experiences and shows key considerations for POTN deployment from a network operator perspective.","PeriodicalId":410892,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium (Networks)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126386013","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}
