Increasing scope and applications of integrated optics necessitates the development of automated techniques for physical design of optical systems. A key area of integrated optic design is waveguide routing, which currently lacks the level of automation found in VLSI design. Unlike VLSI, where signal nets are routed with metal layers and vias, integrated optics is a planar technology and lacks ...

Generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) with wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology is a very promising protocol technology for future optical networks. GMPLS technology interconnects new and legacy networks by automating connection provisioning and traffic engineering. The present electrical interconnects for the system on chip (SoC) are unable to satisfy the multiple desi...

Existing hierarchical routing schemes, employing distance vector and link state routing algorithms, require the exchange of routing information for the construction and maintenance of routing tables [1]. As networks increase in size, the memory requirements for the routing tables and the time taken to search the tables increase proportionally [11]. Further, as the popularity of computer network...

A detailed understanding of the many facets of the Internet’s topological structure is critical for evaluating the performance of networking protocols, for assessing the effectiveness of proposed techniques to protect the network from nefarious intrusions and attacks, or for developing improved designs for resource provisioning. In this way Available bandwidth estimation is a vital component of...

As an important pipeline stage in the router of Network-on-Chips, switch allocation assigns output ports to input and allows flits transit through without conflicts. Previous work designed efficient strategies by maximizing matching efficiency time series. However, those works neglected interaction between different stages. In this article, we propose concept Utility-of-Allocation (UoA) indicat...

GMPLS extends MPLS to provide the control for devices in any of following domains: packet, time, wavelength, and fiber. In this way, data from multiple layers are switched over Label Switched Paths (LSPs). The router is equipped with optical-to electrical and electrical-to-optical converters used respectively to terminate and generate optical signals. These interfaces are directly connected to ...
