The switching is an important part of the telecommunication networks over the years for transferring and handling voice and data through the traditional switching nodes existing in the telecommunication networks. Various developments were seen in the recent years which resulted in increasing data transfer capabilities of the transmission networks all over the world, however the switching speed ...

A model of an overall telecommunication network with virtual circuits switching, in stationary state, with Bernoulli-Poisson-Pascal (BPP) input flow, repeated calls, limited number of homogeneous terminals and 8 types of losses is considered. One of the main problems of network redimensioning is estimation of the traffic offered in the network because it reflects on finding of necessary number ...

Network redimensioning (medium term planning) means to determine volume of telecommunication resources, necessary to serve given traffic offered taking into account the prescribe Quality of services (QoS). Two different network redimensioning methods are considered in this paper. The aim of the research is comparison between network redimensioning method, using ITU E.600 traffic offered definit...

This paper presents an architecture for an all optical switching node. The architecture is suitable for optical packet and optical burst switching and provides appropriate contention resolution schemes and QoS guarantees. A concept, called virtual memory, is developed to allow controllable and reasonable periods for delaying optical traffics. Related to its implementation, several engineering i...

Department of Electrical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology, P.O. Box 513, 5600 MB Eindhoven, The Netherlands Abstract  It is widely recognized that all-optical packet switched telecommunication nodes require a form of all-optical buffering and synchronization to avoid congestion in the switching matrix . We present a novel all-optical switching concept suitable for these purposes...

This document specifies an extension to the identifiers to be used in the Transport Profile of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS-TP). Identifiers that follow IP/MPLS conventions have already been defined. This memo augments that set of identifiers for MPLS-TP management and Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) functions to include identifier information in a format typically used...
