Optical Packet Switching (OPS) is the promising switching technique to utilize the huge
bandwidth offered by all-optical networks using the DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division …

A comprehensive resource on multimedia communications. Covers recent trends and
standardization activities in multimedia communications, such as layered structures …

In transparent DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) networks, high blocking
rate of lightpaths due to unsatisfactory BERs (Bit Error Rates) can become a major traffic …

This paper presents a new analytical model for calculating the blocking probability in Just-
Enough-Time (JET)-based optical burst switching networks. Relationship to the problem of …

Classical approaches to quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning in IP networks are difficult to
apply in all-optical networks. This is mainly because there is no optical counterpart to the …

Many distributed applications require a group of destinations to be coordinated with a single
source. Multicasting is a communication paradigm to implement these distributed …

We present a communication paradigm called “anycasting,” which is defined as delivering
traffic from a source node to any one destination among a set of recipients in the network. An …

In this paper we present a new analytical model for evaluating the blocking probability in
Just-Enough-Time-based optical burst switching networks. The proposed analytical model …

In this paper we address the problem of maximizing the utilization of optical network
bandwidth by proposing a technique called packet containerization at the edge of the optical …

Differentiated services provision according to clients or applications is an added feature that
network operators ambition to fully provide. One of the possible approaches is to map …
