Supporting PIM-SM in All-Optical Lambda-Switched Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a protocol to construct optical multicast trees in lambdaswitched networks running PIM-SM. Based on the MPLS architecture, the protocol maps a multicast tree constructed by PIM-SM onto point-to-multipoint LSPs that are connected to form an equivalent WDM multicast tree. LSP set-up request is receiver-initiated in the protocol. A mechanism to collect information about the capability of each WDM node along a path is used to provide receivers with sufficient information to form appropriate LSP set-up requests. This facilitates the set-up of LSPs, in particular in heterogeneous networks.

Supporting IP Dense Mode Multicast Routing in All-Optical Lambda-Switched Networks
We describe a source-rooted WDM multicast tree construction protocol to support IP dense mode multicast routing protocols in lambda-switched all-optical networks. Using a receiver-initiated approach, the protocol relies on a mechanism that collects information on the capabilities of WDM nodes. This mechanism provides receivers with sufficient information to setup WDM multicast trees in networks...

Optical networks became very important in the latest years, thanks to their high traffic capacity, because of the continuous growth of total exchanged data and the request of real-time communication. Since they have (relatively) long adaptation times, this technology is not inherently the most suitable to carry bursty traffic like the current one. Hybrid networks try to get the best from optica...
