The year-by-year increase in electricity consumption significantly affects all nations today
from environmental, social, and economic perspectives. Various studies show that, among …

Nowadays, people's daily lives are increasingly dependent on Internet applications provided
by cloud service providers that replicate their content among geographically distributed …

Mixed-line-rate (MLR) optical networks (eg, 10/40/100 Gb/s) offer a new paradigm in
backbone networks to meet the increasing traffic demands. They are considered as a …

We formulate MILP models and develop efficient heuristic algorithms for survivable multicast
routing and spectrum assignment in light-tree based elastic optical networks considering …

Multicast applications are expected to be major drivers of Internet traffic growth. As most
multicast connections require much lower bandwidth than the capacity offered by a …

With the development of multimedia services in Internet technology, there comes a big gap
between bandwidth utilization and the blocking probability for multicast requests in the …

In order to address the problem of optimizing the spectrum resources and power
consumption in elastic optical networks (EONs), we investigate the potential gains by jointly …

In this paper, we design an optimization problem for grooming of multicast traffic requests in
WDM mesh networks. The objective is to minimize the network cost by minimizing the …

This paper proposes an efficient overlay multicast provisioning (OMP) mechanism for
dynamic multicast traffic grooming in overlay IP/MPLS over WDM networks. To facilitate …

Network survivability is an important factor in the design of WDM optical networks. In
dynamic provisioning context, a typical connection request may require bandwidth less than …
