White Paper Incorporating Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) in a PON allows one to support much higher bandwidth compared to the standard PON, which operates in the "Single-wavelength mode" where one wavelength is used for upstream transmission and a... [18 Jul 2008]
Early Drop and Wavelength Grouping Schemes for Providing Absolute QoS Differentiation in Optical Burst-Switched Networks
White Paper This paper proposed two mechanisms for providing absolute QoS differentiation in OBS networks, an early drop mechanism, which selectively drops non-guaranteed traffic, and a wavelength grouping mechanism, which manages wavelengths for guaranteed... [18 Jul 2008]
Light Trails: A Sub-Wavelength Solution for Optical Networking
White Paper MPLS and OBS have the advantages of creating all-optical connections between nodes, but don't allow intermediate nodes to also use the wavelength. All-optical networks are able to transport data from source to destination entirely in the optical... [18 Jul 2008]
