Multi-MetaRing fairness control in a WDM folded-bus architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
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-MetaRing, is proposed. Feasible Multi-MetaRing strategies are defined and analyzed. Both fair access and high aggregate network throughput can be achieved with a low complexity distributed access protocol by properly handling node access through all WDM channels. 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Extending the Fasnet protocol to WDM rings for short-term fairness control
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 scenari...
متن کاملOverview of the MetaRing Architecture
The basic MetaRing architecture is a full-duplex ring providing fairness and spatial bandwidth reuse. Concurrent access and spatial bandwidth reuse enable simultaneous transmission over disjoint segments of the bidirectional ring. It therefore increases the potential throughput in each direction, by a factor of four or more. In this work, we overview the MetaRing principles: (1) Distributed glo...
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 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...

Abstract The paper considers medium access control protocols for all-optical packet networks based on WDM multichannel ring topologies where nodes are equipped with one xed-wavelength receiver and one wavelengthtunable transmitter. Such networks provide separate channels for slotted transmissions to disjoint subsets of destination nodes. Some simple access protocols based on local status inform...
