We study lightpath rerouting in optical WDM networks in this paper. First, we investigate two different lightpath-rerouting strategies, namely, passive rerouting and intentional rerouting. Passive rerouting means the rerouting of existing lightpaths to accommodate new lightpath requests that will otherwise be blocked. Intentional rerouting is intentionally rerouting existing lightpaths during their life period to achieve better load balancing. Second, we investigate the hybrid rerouting scheme, which combines passive rerouting and intentional rerouting. Through extensive simulation studies, we draw the following conclusions: (1) when there is wavelength conversion, passive rerouting works much better than intentional rerouting, and hybrid rerouting can only improve the performance over passive rerouting slightly, and (2) when there is no wavelength conversion, a naive-wavelength-retuning algorithm can achieve the most benefit of passive rerouting, whereas path adjusting does not help any further; however, the hybrid rerouting scheme can improve the blocking performance significantly.","PeriodicalId":49154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Networking","volume":"7 1","pages":"721-735"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1364/JON.7.000721","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66589978","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}

By splicing a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) within a piece of an erbium-doped fiber, a lossless, low-cost, and simply structured Bi-ROADM is obtained. The total pumping power is 40mW with 0.6m of gain fiber for both upstream and downstream signals. The Bi-ROADM performance is evaluated using a bidirectional four-channel 50km lightwave transmission link using a 2.5Gbits/s bit rate per channel. Bit-error-rate (BER) performances show that the power penalties are 0.49 and 0.76dB at a 10−9 BER, respectively, for the 25km dropped channel and the 50km passed-through channel as compared to the back-to-back condition. An extra power penalty of only 0.2dB is observed for bidirectional transmission compared to the unidirectional transmission case. Cross-talk issues and chromatic dispersion are also studied. The induced power penalty by adjacent channel cross talk is negligible (≦0.2dB) with a narrow channel spacing of 1.0nm. The induced power penalty by intraband (homodyne) cross talk is also negligible for the cross-talk level of −30dB, corresponding to 99.9% reflectivity of the FBG. The Bi-ROADM may find important applications in bidirectional WDM networks and/or bidirectional transmission.","PeriodicalId":49154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Networking","volume":"7 1","pages":"662-672"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1364/JON.7.000662","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66589526","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}

Grover","doi":"10.1364/JON.7.000673","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1364/JON.7.000673","url":null,"abstract":"In a transparent optical network it is desirable to have design control over the length of normal working paths and over the end-to-end length of paths in any restored network state. An obvious approach with p-cycles is to limit the maximum allowable circumference of candidate cycles considered in the network design. But this is somewhat inefficient and does not directly control the end-to-end length of paths in a restored state; it only controls the maximum length of protection path-segments that might be substituted into a working path on failure. Another basic strategy is now considered. It consists of systematically matching shorter working paths with longer protection path-segments through p-cycles, and vice versa, with direct consideration of the end-to-end length of paths in the restored network state during the design. This complementary matching notion is studied through an integer linear programming (ILP) model to minimize cost while intelligently associating longer working paths with shorter protection path-segments and vice versa. The basic ILP is adapted in one case to minimize the average restored state path lengths; in another to achieve the least possible longest path length; and, finally, to also constrain all restored path lengths under a fixed limit. Each variation can also be subject to a requirement of using only the theoretically minimal spare capacity or, through bi-criteria methods, a minimal amount of additional spare capacity for the corresponding objective on path lengths. Taken overall the work provides the means to design an entire transparent survivable island that respects the transparent reach limits of a given ultra-long-haul technology. A heuristic combination of ILP and genetic algorithm methods is also developed to solve some of the larger problems and is shown to perform well.","PeriodicalId":49154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Networking","volume":"7 1","pages":"673-691"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1364/JON.7.000673","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66589644","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\u0000evolution of the Internet's popularity has led to its current\u0000central position as a fundamental enabler of the world's economy.\u0000Several developments have allowed the Internet to adjust to this\u0000evolving role, and one of the fundamental drivers has been the\u0000wide availability of broadband connections based on optical\u0000transmission technologies. However, there are many challenges to\u0000be foreseen as driving forces to redefine the Internet. The\u0000traffic demand is increasing exponentially due to the growing\u0000number of users and offered bandwidth per user as well as the\u0000large data flows that are transferred between users. In addition,\u0000an enormous increase in on-line content offered by the Internet is\u0000expected to continue. These network scaling requirements, both in\u0000terms of number of users, their devices, and bandwidth are key\u0000facets of the future Internet that has not been fully explored\u0000anywhere and will potentially require major contributions from the\u0000photonics research community.

In typical survivable network designs, individual sessions are provided either full protection or no protection. We consider a quality of protection (QoP) framework where a connection is provided partial protection, i.e., when a link failure occurs on the primary path, the protection bandwidth provided on the backup path is less than or equal to the primary bandwidth. Each connection request specifies the primary bandwidth and a minimum backup bandwidth required. The network will guarantee at least the minimum backup bandwidth and, if capacity is available, higher backup bandwidth up to the primary path's bandwidth. The advantage of such a model is that it can reduce backup capacity requirements based on connection needs leading to lower blocking probability and lower network costs. We consider two scenarios: (i) a network with static traffic that is designed using an integer linear program (ILP) formulation and (ii) a network with dynamic traffic for which we present a heuristic connection admission control algorithm that prevents backup resource contention during recovery from a link failure. The results quantify the gain in blocking probability for different partial protection scenarios. The mechanism proposed to counter backup contention is seen to provide an average of 120% reduction in the contention among backup paths of connections traversing a link, especially when the number of wavelengths in each link is small.","PeriodicalId":49154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Networking","volume":"7 1","pages":"617-634"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1364/JON.7.000617","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66589221","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}

Specifically, this work proposes and devises a simple self-healing Ethernet PON architecture that supports a truly shared LAN capability among end users. The main characteristic of the proposed architecture is that it supports a fully distributed control plane among the optical network units (ONUs) for ONU-to-ONU communication. The control plane supports fully distributed fault detection and recovery mechanisms as well as a decentralized dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme in which the optical line terminator is excluded from both the bandwidth arbitration and fault detection and recovery processes. The proposed decentralized automatic protection switching technique is capable of protecting against both node (ONU) and fiber failures (distribution and trunk) through active participation of ONUs. This scheme enables the recovery of all network traffic including upstream, downstream, and LAN data. In addition, the proposed protection technique can protect against any combination of concurrent double failures including trunk and distribution fiber breaks and node failures.","PeriodicalId":49154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Networking","volume":"7 1","pages":"645-661"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1364/JON.7.000645","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66589402","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}
