Extending the Fasnet protocol to WDM rings for short-term fairness control
نویسنده
چکیده
Single-hop wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical ring networks operating in packet mode are a promising architecture for the design of innovate Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). They allow a cost-effective design, with a good combination of optical and electronic technologies, while supporting features like restoration and reconfiguration that are essential in any metropolitan scenario. In this article, we address the fairness problem in a WDM optical network. We introduce the Multi-MetaRing and the Multi-Fasnet fairness protocols, aiming at achieving high aggregate network throughput, throughput fairness and bounded and fair access delays.

متن کاملMetaRing Fairness Control Schemes in All-Optical WDM Rings
W D M rings are receiving significant attention in the field of all-optical networks because their implementation appears to be feasible with state-of-the-art components. Several MAC protocols were recently proposed in order to resolve contentions among nodes sharing the available wavelengths an W D M rings. These MAC protocols achieve high e&ciency but unsatisfactory fairness, due to the asymm...
متن کاملAn Almost Optimal MAC Protocol for All-Optical WDM Multi-Rings with Tunable Transmitters and Fixed Receivers
This paper considers SRR, an almost optimal collision-free access scheme for all-optical packet networks based on WDM multi-channel ring topologies providing slotted channels for transmissions to disjoint subsets of destination nodes. Only a channel inspection capability and local status information are required at nodes in order to implement the access protocol. Since SRR is not able to enforc...
متن کاملMulti-MetaRing fairness control in a WDM folded-bus architecture
The paper deals with fairness issues in a slotted, single-hop, WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) optical architecture, based on a folded bus topology, previously proposed as a broadband access system or as a metro network. The peculiar fairness problem arising in this folded bus based architecture is addressed and an extension of the MetaRing protocol to the WDM scenario, named Multi-MetaR...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of a distributed credit-based fairness mechanism for slotted WDM rings
In slotted WDM metro rings employing spatial re-use the problem of fairness is inherent and quite significant. To allow all nodes around the ring to equally share the available bandwidth a novel mechanism based on access credits and executed in a distributed way is proposed. Its performance is evaluated by simulations to show its effectiveness even under highly asymmetric loading and is compare...
