The current fast-growing Internet traffic is demanding more and more network capacity every
day. The concept of wavelength-division multiplexing has provided us an opportunity to …

Recently, there has been growing interest in develo** optical fiber networks to support the
increasing bandwidth demands of multimedia applications, such as video conferencing and …

The advent of fiber optic transmission systems and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
have led to a dramatic increase in the usable bandwidth of single fiber systems. This book …

Passive optical networks are generally built from a central office and a plurality of passive
optical nodes. Over a main path, optical signals are transmitted to the nodes. When a fault …

Most implementations of HTTP servers do not distinguish among requests to differeut pages.
This has the implicatiou that requests for popular pages have the tendency to overwhelm the …

Abstract The concept of Photonic Slot Routing (PSR) was recently proposed by the authors
for providing scalability in WDM packet switching networks. PSR circumvents the …

Photonic slot routing has been proposed as an approach to implement an all-optical packet-
switched network in a manner which is scalable and not overly complex. Although photonic …
