The first functional demonstration of optical virtual concatenation as a technique for achieving Terabit networking
نویسندگان
چکیده
The optical virtual concatenation (OVC) function of The Terabit LAN was demonstrated for the first time at the iGrid 2005 workshop in San Diego, California. The TERAbit-LAN establishes a lambda group path (LGP) for an application where the number of lambdas/L2 connections in a LGP can be specified by the application. Each LGP is logically treated as one end-to-end optical path, so during parallel transport, the LGP channels have no relative latency deviation. However, optical path diversity (e.g. restoration) can cause LGP relative latency deviations and negatively affect quality of service. OVC hardware developed by NTT compensates for relative latency deviations to achieve a virtual bulk transport for the Electronic Visualization Laboratory’s (EVL) Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment application. c © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

LambdaBridge: Towards an Edge-Based Terabit Wide-Area Network
LambdaGrid applications are likely to be the first users of terabit-level networking. The challenge of terabit networking will be how to manage traffic at the edges. This paper provides insight into the traffic characteristics of future terabit applications, and uses this to drive the design of an edge-based architecture called LambdaBridge. LambdaBridge will provision and control predictable-p...

This document describes requirements for, and the use of, the Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) control plane in support of the Virtual Concatenation (VCAT) layer 1 inverse multiplexing data plane mechanism and its companion Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS). LCAS can be used for hitless dynamic resizing of the inverse multiplex group. These techniques apply to Optical Tra...
