Shared mesh protection (SMP) protects service traffic on a working path and requires coordinated use of the shared resources on a protection path when the traffic is routed through the protection path. If there are many intermediate nodes on the ...

In this article, we propose a method of finding the segments that can bypass a resource coordination process required in shared mesh protection (SMP) networks. Utilizing an algorithm to find such segments as many as possible, a new SMP mechanism that can ...

With the expansion and convergence of communication and computing, dynamic provisioning of customized networking and processing infrastructures, as well as resource virtualization, are appealing concepts and technologies. Therefore, new models and tools ...

Deployment of IPv6 technology in research and commercial networks has accelerated in the last few years. Inevitably, as more advanced services take advantage of the new technology, IPv6 traffic gradually increases. Today, there is limited experience in ...

This paper deals with a Stackelberg formulation for the power control problem in optical networks. The new model adds an extra dimension to the recent OSNR game model and gives flexibility in optimizing the network performance (e.g. OSNR) and regulate ...

Adequately providing fault tolerance while using network capacity efficiently is a major topic of research in optical networks. In order to improve the network utilization, grooming of low-rate connections in optical networks has been usually performed ...

In this paper, we propose an adaptive survivability admission control algorithm using a backup path for high-speed networks. For each call request, the proposed algorithm selects a combination of working path and backup path. Two BP selection methods, ...
