The next generation 10-Gigabit Ethernet Standard is currently under development and is expected to come out in the next few years. This paper highlights ongoing discussions regarding several aspects of 10-Gigabit Ethernet such as market requirements, implementation structures, layer interfaces, coding techniques, frame formats, media, devices, and etc. See Also: Gigabit Ethernet | Gigabit Ether...

In this paper, two bio-inspired Quality of Service (QoS) multicast algorithms are proposed in IP over dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical Internet. Given a QoS multicast request and the delay interval required by the application, both algorithms are able to find a flexible QoS-based cost suboptimal routing tree. They first construct the multicast trees based on ant colony opti...

The ever-increasing demand for applications in internet, digital cable TV, e-mail, data transmission etc. has forced the utilization of the available more than two THz transmission bandwidth of single-mode optical fiber at low loss and low dispersion window of 1550 nm. Most of the optical communication systems in use today range from 2.5 Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s and 40 Gbit/s while 160 Gbit/s and 480 ...

DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is a highly promising solution to provide high bandwidth networks. In order to make more efficient use of large bandwidth, two types of DWDM transmission protocols have been designed: reservation-based protocols and pre-allocation protocols. A reservation-based protocol uses at least one control channel to reserve access to the remaining data channe...

In Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technologies, the optimal packet scheduling is a common encounter issue in multiple channels network. NP-hard problem deals with finding a way to rearrange packets in multiple channels into a finite and rare channel. Genetic algorithm (GA) is one of the most efficient ways to solve this issue. We hope to find a better solution to our task through...

Optical communications by dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM or WDM), which uses a number of wavelengths and a signal on each wavelength channel for transmission, has made massive progress as a high-speed, high-capacity optical communication system for the Internet age. A crucial device in this kind of communication system is the optical wavelength filter used to separate out the wave...

Silicon nanophotonics holds the promise of dramatically advancing the state of the art in computing by enabling parallel architectures that combine unprecedented performance and ease of use with affordable power consumption. This paper presents a design study for a manycore architecture called Corona which utilizes dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) for onand off-chip communication t...

In this paper we discuss the application of a metaheuristic approach based on the Scatter Search to deal with robust optimization of the planning problem in the deploying of the Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology on an existing optical fiber network taking into account, in addition to the forecasted demands, the uncertainty in the survivability requirements.

A configurable optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) based on fibre Bragg gratings is reported. Dynamically selection of the add-drop or pass-through functionality is realised according to the control of an optical switch. The OADM performance measurement realised in a 70 km, 3 × 2.5 Gb/s channels dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) experimental network are reported and the results comp...
