ARCHITECTURES FOR OPS METRO RINGS: COMPARING ACTIVE VERSUS PASSIVE NODES A dimensioning point of view
نویسندگان
چکیده
Next generation metropolitan area networks (MANs) should provide high bandwidth in a flexible manner: they should efficiently exploit available resources, support multiple traffic types and offer rapid provisioning. Optical Packet Switching (OPS), with its packet-level granularity and hence efficient and flexible bandwidth sharing, fulfils these requirements very well [1]. We discuss the approach and results in comparing three ring architectures (with/without active components allowing for spatial reuse) in terms of resources required.

Design and analysis of opticalpacket switching networks Ontwerp en analyse van optische pakketschakelende netwerken
Despite the recent economic fallback, following the explosion of the technology bubble, we still observe a steadily continuing growth of telecommunication traffic. It's no secret that the originally dominant voice traffic nowadays is dominated in volume by data traffic, especially originating from the Internet. That Internet, being characterized by packet based transport of heterogeneous inform...
متن کاملDesign and analysis of optical packet switching networks
This PhD dissertation aims at identifying the major issues and difficulties that arise in Optical Packet Switching networks (providing a transport infrastructure for telecommunication traffic), from a logical performance point of view. The latter means that we will not deal so much with physical/technological challenges of OPS, but rather discuss how to handle the optical packets in terms of co...
متن کاملNetwork Performance of Optical Burst/Packet Switching: The Impact of Dimensioning, Routing and Contention Resolution*
Optical burst switching (OBS) and Optical packet switching (OPS) are highly dynamic transport network architectures for a future optical Internet. As they both rely on statistical multiplexing network dimensioning, routing, and efficient contention resolution are key issues in order to achieve a low burst loss probability. This paper first compares principal network dimensioning and fixed routi...
متن کاملDesigning Resilient Long-Reach Passive Optical Networks
We report on an emerging application focused on the design of resilient long reach passive optical networks using combinatorial optimisation techniques. The objective of the application is to determine the optimal position and capacity of a set of metro nodes. We specifically consider dual parented networks whereby each customer must be associated with two metro nodes. An important property of ...
متن کاملEnabling next Generation Ethernet Access with Ethernet Passive Optical Networks
This article describes Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPONs), an emerging local subscriber access architecture that combines low cost point-to-multipoint fiber infrastructure with Ethernet. EPONs are designed to carry Ethernet frames at standard Ethernet rates. EPONs use a single trunk fiber that extends from a central office to a passive optical splitter, which then fans out to multiple op...
