Optical CDMA for All-Optical Sub-Wavelength Switching in Core GMPLS Networks

Generalized multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS) is a multipurpose control-plane paradigm that extends the MPLS scheme allowing switching without recognizing packet boundaries. In this paper, we present a novel extension that exploits a new physical layer for switching in optical GMPLS. The proposed extension is achieved through adding an optical code switching layer, or code switch capable (CSC) layer, to the existing label mapping layers. Our proposal enables finer granularity at sub-wavelength level in all-optical GMPLS core switches, resulting in significant enhancements to traffic isolation capabilities for all-optical GMPLS core switches. We employ mathematical analysis to derive performance bounds for the proposed scheme, from both the labeling capacity and network throughput points of view. We use our analytical model to derive several optimum operating points for the network, and show that our techniques significantly improve the overall performance of all-optical core networks

Polymorphic Architectures for Optical Networks and their Seamless Evolution towards Next Generation Networks

This paper proposes a novel polymorphic framework for optical networking and a seamless evolution path from optical circuit-switched towards optical packet-switched networks. We show that by simultaneously supporting several optical switching paradigms in a single physical topology, efficient and flexible optical networks can be built. The supported paradigms are associated with different Classes of Service (CoS) in order to provide service differentiation at the optical layer. Two polymorphic architectures are presented, one based on optical circuit switching paradigms with different grades of dynamism, and a second one based on optical labeled burst-switched networks with the added capability of dynamic lightpath provisioning. These architectures provide a seamless evolution path towards an efficient IP-over-WDM approach with service differentiation. Moreover, the proposed polymorphic architectures are fully compatible with the GMPLS unified control plane. We present in a detailed form the proposed polymorphic framework, including the selection of switching paradigms, its support for CoS, the network and control architecture, and a possible seamless evolution towards optical packet-switched networks. Possible implementation examples of optical network nodes that support the proposed polymorphic architectures are also presented.     

Multi-stratum resources resilience in software defined data center interconnection based on IP over elastic optical networks

IP over elastic optical network is a very promising networking architecture to interconnect data centers. It can enable efficient resource utilization and support heterogeneous bandwidth demands in cost-effective, highly available, and energy-effective manner. In case of aggregation elastic optical network node failure, to ensure a high-level quality of service for user request after the failure becomes a research focus. In this paper, we present a novel multi-stratum resources resilience (MSRR) architecture for the data center services in software defined data center interconnection based on IP over elastic optical networks. The MSRR can enable joint optimization of IP network, elastic optical network, and application stratum resources, and enhance the service resilience and the data center responsiveness to the dynamic end-to-end service demands. Additionally, a service-aware resource collaborative resilience strategy for MSRR is introduced based on the proposed architecture, which can provide the restoration using the multiple stratums resources in case of failure. The overall feasibility and efficiency of the proposed architecture are experimentally verified on our testbed. Moreover, the network performances are quantitatively evaluated through the simulation under heavy traffic load scenario in terms of path blocking probability, resource occupation rate, and path resilience latency.

Signaling and Control Procedures Using Generalized MPLS Protocol for IP over an Optical Network

This paper reviews the existing research activities on signaling and control procedures for IP over optical networks. We focus on the IP‐centric signaling and control architecture based on the generalized multi‐protocol label switching (GMPLS) protocol and analyze various scenarios and technical issues for deploying the IP over an optical network. We analyze the signaling and operations and administration and maintenance requirements for integrating an IP network and an optical network in order to cope with the high bandwidth and poor resource granularity of the optical network, including the optical cross‐connect system. On the basis of network architecture and a reference configuration model, we investigate the GMPLS‐based control architecture and interconnection model appropriate for controlling IP bandwidth and optical lambda resources. The signaling and control procedure based on GMPLS on optical user‐network interface and network‐network interface are comparatively investigated to provide the optical lightpath. We also study protection and restoration procedures to protect link failure when it applies to GMPLS signaling.     

Label preference schemes in GMPLS controlled networks

The GMPLS assumption that all available labels are equal is reasonable in electronic networks but not always true in WDM optical networks where labels correspond to physical wavelengths. In this paper we present two schemes for collecting the preference for specific labels during GMPLS signaling. For this purpose a new use of the Suggested Label object is proposed, and a novel object called Suggested Vector is introduced. The approach is validated through simulations showing significant wavelength converter usage reduction in a WDM optical network

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Research on Energy Saving Design of Intelligent Building Based on Genetic Algorithm

Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) networks is capable of allocating suitable route based on the size of the network and computational constraints. In this paper, we propose a connection provisioning strategy for updating the Traffic Engineering Database of Path Computation Element (PCE) in GMPLS optical networks. Control and management plane are used for resource optimization in PCE-based centralized network. We have also proposed connection provisioning for Label Switched Path (LSP) to optimize the resources and to maximize the connection establishment. For provisioning a connection with LSP requests, we have formulated the Integer Linear Programming and constraints to minimize the blocking of connections and network performance. The results obtained shows that the proposed strategy has better network resource utilization with minimum blocking of connections.     

Photonic MPLS Internetworking using an Optical Code Label Stack

Generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS), which enables dynamic optical path provisioning, is promising. However, the critical issues of GMPLS in the optical domain are the data granularity of a wavelength and the very exiguous label space. The capacity of a single wavelength path may be sometimes too large to accommodate the traffic between edge node pairs, and the label space may be too small to assign the labels to each packet or flow. To solve the granularity and label space issues, optical code MPLS (OC-MPLS) is proposed. In this paper, OC-MPLS internetworking is introduced and experimentally demonstrated. One of the key techniques is photonic label processing of a label stack attached to a single packet or flow. The proposed method performs routing of packets or flows for interconnected OC-MPLS networks depending on the attached label stack in an all optical manner.

GMPLS-based photonic multilayer router (Hikari router)architecture: an overview of traffic engineering and signalingtechnology

A new extended signaling and traffic engineering method for the GMPLS-based photonic and electrical multilayer router (Hikari router) is proposed. The method allows dynamic optical network management and photonic signal recovery, such as regeneration, reshaping, etc., to be realized adaptively. Wavelength conversion is also adaptive, which reduces network cost. Multilayer traffic engineering, which yields the dynamic cooperation of IP and photonic layers, is described to provide IP services cost effectively. To realize multilayer traffic engineering, we propose the OSPF extension, which advertises both the number of total wavelengths and the number of unused wavelengths, and the RSVP-TE extension, which minimizes the number of wavelength conversions needed. In addition, this paper proposes a heuristics-based multilayer topology design scheme that uses IP traffic measurements in a generalized multi-protocol label switch (GMPLS). The proposed scheme yields the optical label switch path (OLSP) network topology, that is, OLSP placement, that minimizes network cost, in response to fluctuations in IP traffic demand. In other words, the OLSP network topology is dynamically reconfigured to match IP traffic demand. Networks are reconfigured by the proposed scheme so as to utilize network resources in the most cost effective manner     

Distributed virtual network topology control mechanism in GMPLS-based multiregion networks

This paper proposes a distributed virtual network topology (VNT) reconfiguration method for Internet Protocol over a wavelength-division-multiplexing network under dynamic traffic demand. We have developed a simple heuristic algorithm for calculating the VNT for distributed control. A generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS)-based routing protocol has been developed. The VNT is quickly reconfigured by setting up and/or tearing down lightpaths using a GMPLS signaling protocol. Traffic demand is measured at the ingress node and advertised by the extended GMPLS routing protocol. Performance of the proposed method is investigated using variable traffic model.     

Implementation of IPv6 services over a GMPLS-based IP/optical network

In recent days, there has been considerable interest in deploying IPv6-based services. Trial and commercial IPv6 services offering has already begun, especially in Japan, Korea, China, and other parts of the world. At the same time, many service providers have embraced MPLS as the enabler for the required multiservice capabilities of their next-generation packet networks. Also, the widespread deployment of DWDM-based optical transport systems in the core network to satisfy the tremendous need and increase in capacity demand has led network planners to reconsider traditional approaches to provisioning and network restoration, and plan integration of the optical layer into the MPLS infrastructure according to the emerging GMPLS technology. The purpose of this article is to discuss next-generation network architecture evolution and present a detailed architecture for transport of emerging IPv6 services and applications over next-generation GMPLS multiservice backbone networks. This article also presents an implementation and demonstration of this technique for IPv6 transport over a GMPLS backbone network as well as interoperability verification of IPv6 and GMPLS using a GMPLS network testbed.

All-optical wavelength-path service with quality assurance by multilayer integration system

In the future all-optical network controlled by generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS), the wavelength path between end nodes will change dynamically. This inevitably means that the fiber parameters along the wavelength path will also vary. This variation in fiber parameters influences the signal quality of high-speed-transmission system (bit rates over 40 Gb/s). Therefore, at a path setup, the fiber-parameter effect should be adequately compensated. Moreover, the path setup must be completed fast enough to meet the network-application demands. To realize the rapid setup of adequate paths, a multilayer integration system for all-optical wavelength-path quality assurance is proposed. This multilayer integration system is evaluated in a field trial. In the trial, the GMPLS control plane, measurement plane, and data plane coordinated to maintain the quality of a 40-Gb/s wavelength path that would otherwise be degraded by the influence of chromatic dispersion. It is also demonstrated that the multilayer integration system can assure the signal quality in the face of not only chromatic dispersion but also degradation in the optical signal-to-noise ratio by the use of a 2R regeneration system. Our experiments confirm that the proposed multilayer integration system is an essential part of future all-optical networks.
