GLASS (GMPLS Lightwave Agile Switching Simulator) - A Scalable Discrete Event Network Simulator for GMPLS-Based Optical Internet

Overview This paper explains the design philosophy and the overall architecture of a scalable discrete event network simulator for GMPLS-based Optical Internet, called GLASS (GMPLS Lightwave Agile Switching Simulator). GLASS has been developed to support the R&D works in the area of Next Generation Internet (NGI) networking with GMPLS-based WDM optical network, and Internet traffic engineering with DiffServ-over-MPLS. It supports discrete-event simulations of various DiffServ packet classification, Per-Hop-Behavior (PHB) processing with class-based-queuing, MPLS traffic engineering, MPLS OAM functions that provide performance monitoring and fault notification, GMPLS-based signaling for WDM optical network, link/node failure model, and fast restoration from an optical link failure.
