Timing-based active watermarking schemes are developed to trace back attackers through
stepping stone connections or anonymizing networks. By slightly changing packet timing …

We consider an elastic all-optical network, where each node is multicast-capable and does
not support spectrum conversion. In such a network, for a given set of static multicast …

Optical multicasting has been considered resource efficient for multicast services. Light-tree
and light-trail are two technologies that support optical multicasting while the former requires …

Multicasting is inevitable in the advent of the age of online video streaming. Light trail, the
unidirectional optical bus, enhances multicasting by facilitating sub wavelength granularity …

The light-trail architecture provides a novel solution to address IP-centric issues at the
optical layer. By incorporating drop and continue functionality, overlaid with a lightweight …

We explore network design principles for next-generation all-optical wide-area networks,
employing light-trail technology. Light-trail is a light-wave circuit that allows multiple nodes to …

A light-trail is a generalization of a lightpath allowing multiple nodes to be able to
communicate along the path, leading to all-optical spatial traffic grooming. A light-trail …

A light-trail is a generalization of a lightpath such that multiple nodes can take part in
communication along the path. A light-trail exhibits properties of dynamic provisioning …

Traffic grooming continues to be a rich area of research in the context of WDM optical
networks. We provide an overview of the optical and electronic grooming techniques …

Recently, a new architecture called light-trails has been proposed that provides a novel
control and management solution to address IP-centric issues at the optical layer. By …
