The sustained growth of data traffic volume calls for an introduction of an efficient and
scalable transport platform for links of 100 Gb/s and beyond in the future optical network. In …

In recent years hybrid optical network architectures, which employ two or more network
technologies simultaneously, were proposed. They aim at improving the overall network …

Das Internetprotokoll (IP) spielt eine tragende Rolle bei der Entwicklung von Netzwerken
und Diensten. In diesem maßgeblichen Werk werden vielfältige Aspekte des …

Aggregation of individual wavelengths into wavebands for their subsequent switching and
routing as a single group is an attractive way for scalable and cost-efficient optical networks …

Waveband switching (WBS) in conjunction with multigranular optical cross-connect (MG-
OXC) architectures can reduce the cost and complexity of switching nodes. In this paper, we …

We present the design and analysis of an Agile All-Photonic Network (AAPN); in the context
of our study, the agility is derived from sub-microsecond photonic switching and global …

The usefulness of Bounded Model Checking (BMC) based on propositional satisfiability
(SAT) methods has recently proven its efficacy for bug hunting. BDD based tools are able to …

Large scale optical cross-connects (OXCs) are required due to the increasing traffic
demands. Currently, wavelength-selective switches (WSS) are utilized to create the OXCs …

A new hierarchical optical path network design algorithm that incorporates restrictions on
waveband add/drop ratios at nodes is proposed. We evaluate its effectiveness by …

Hybrid hierarchical optical cross-connects leverages the benefits of both all-optical (OOO)
and optical-electrical (OEO) switching for a cost-effective solution in future optical networks …
