Experimental comparison of high-speed transmission control protocols on a traffic-driven labeled optical burst switching network test bed for grid applications

Lei Liu — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EST

Lei Liu, Xiaobin Hong, Jian Wu, Yawei Yin, Shuri Cai, Jintong Lin
It is well known that the classic transmission control protocol (TCP) Reno is inadequate to address the requirements of emerging grid applications on an optical burst switching (OBS) network. To find the most efficient TCP in the scenario of grid over OBS, in this paper, the implementation of a ... [J. Opt. Netw. 8, 491-503 (2009)]

Minimizing transceivers in optical path networks

Prashant Iyer — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EST

Prashant Iyer, Rudra Dutta, Carla D. Savage
The problem of routing traffic on multihop clear optical channels and deciding the virtual topology of optical channels to form on a physical network of fibers to minimize the cost of electronic switching equipment has become known as traffic grooming in optical networks. Traffic grooming is ... [J. Opt. Netw. 8, 454-461 (2009)]

Survivable and traffic-oblivious routing in WDM networks: valiant load balancing versus tree routing

Rui Dai — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EST

Rui Dai, Lemin Li, Sheng Wang, Xiaoning Zhang
This paper investigates the issue of survivable routing to prevent arbitrary single-link failures in WDM networks when the traffic information is partially known. Two novel protection schemes called valiant-load-balancing- (VLB-) based hop constraint segment protection (VLB-HCSP) and hop constraint ... [J. Opt. Netw. 8, 438-453 (2009)]

Scaling Ethernet speeds to 100 Gbits/s and beyond

Arvinder S. Wander — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EST

Arvinder S. Wander, Anujan Varma, Drew Perkins, Vijay Vusirikala
Dramatic growth in Internet Protocol (IP) traffic demand is driving the need for new high-bandwidth IP interfaces. Today, router-to-router and router-to-transport system connections using Ethernet interfaces are limited to 10 Gbits/s (10GE) or slower. Although techniques, such as link aggregation, ... [J. Opt.
