The rationale of the current optical networking initiatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
The future of networking is to move to an entirely optical infrastructure. Several leading National Research Networking organizations are creating test-beds to pilot the new paradigm. This paper explores some thoughts about the different usage models of optical networks. Different classes of users are identified. The services, required by the Internet traffic from those different classes of users, are analysed and a differentiated Internet architecture is proposed to minimize the cost per transported packet for the whole architecture. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.
