This article describes the Survivable Network Design Library (SNDlib), a data library for fixed
telecommunication network design available at http://sndlib. zib. de. In the current version …

Optical multilayer networks offer a high degree of freedom in network design, adapting to
actual network requirements (demand types, topologies, etc.) and achieving cost-efficient …

The large share of energy consumption in telecommunication networks is expected to shift
from access networks to core networks. Estimating the power consumption of core networks …

Multiperiod network planning is, especially for cost intensive and long term operated core
networks, a necessity to provide cost efficient long term solutions. In this paper we give an …

Optical networking is the cornerstone of the Future Internet as it provides the physical
infrastructure of the core backbone networks. Recent developments have enabled much …

Cost Comparison of Networks Using Traditional 10 and 40 Gb/s Transponders Versus OFDM
Transponders Page 1 Cost Comparison of Networks Using Traditional 10 and 40 Gb/s …

The manner and exact timing of the evolution of the widely used DWDM infrastructure to a
transparent optical network is judged on economic circumstances and network performance …

This paper proposes a methodology to evaluate the total cost (CapEx and OpEx) of a
migration process from a capacity-exhausted static WDM network to different capacity …

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 …
