An Efficient Distributed Control Scheme for Lightpath Establishment in Dynamic WDM Networks

An adaptive hybrid reservation protocol (AHRP) is proposed for the purpose of quickly and efficiently establishing a lightpath in dynamic wavelength routed networks. This protocol uses a special reservation-and-probe (RESV_PROB) packet and extends the signaling to integrate forward reservation and backward reservation into one monolithic process. To decrease the blocking probability that happens in cases where two end nodes associated with a specific link simultaneously reserve the same wavelength, an adaptive wavelength selection policy is specially employed in AHRP. A discrete-event simulation tool based on ns-2 is developed to investigate AHRP's performance, including its blocking probability, average lightpath setup delay, and signaling overhead. AHRP is also compared with existing protocols. Results show that during highly dynamic traffic conditions, AHRP possesses the lowest blocking probability, shorter setup delay, and less signaling overhead.     

Distributed Restoration in Optical Networks using Feed-forward Neural Networks

A new method is proposed for determining protection paths in an optical network where users have different characteristics in terms of reliability needs and security restrictions. Survivability is achieved by distributed mesh protection. Over the preplanned primary and backup capacity, optimal routing and wavelength assignment is carried out. In case of a network failure, protection routes and optimum flow values on these protection routes are extracted from a previously trained feed-forward neural network which is distributed over the optical data communications network.

Design methodology for WDM backbone networks using FWM-aware heuristic algorithm

The problem of lightpath topology design (LTD) and traffic routing over the lightpaths for wavelength-routed optical backbone networks has been investigated extensively in the past using heuristic as well as linear-programming based approaches. Sensitivity of such long-haul backbones to physical-layer impairments is required to be adequately addressed during LTD phase to improve overall performance. For optical communication using wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) over a long-haul fiber backbone, four-wave mixing (FWM) may become one of the significant transmission impairments. Intrinsically, for a WDM-based wavelength-routed network with wavelengths assigned using equally-spaced channels, the generated FWM components are found to remain more crowded at the center of the fiber transmission window. Using this observation, we propose an LTD scheme employing a unique wavelength assignment (WA) technique, wherein long lightpaths (traversing through a larger number of fiber links) are allocated wavelengths at the either edges of the fiber transmission window whereas short lightpaths (consisting of fewer fiber links) are placed in the middle of the transmission window, thereby reducing the FWM crosstalk for long lightpaths. Since long lightpaths comprise of large numbers of fiber links and intermediate nodes, they experience large amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise and switch crosstalk. Therefore, by using the proposed WA technique, long lightpaths while suffering from more ASE noise and switch crosstalk get subjected to lesser FWM crosstalk leading to a more uniform distribution of overall optical signal-to-noise ratio for all the lightpaths across the network. Analysis of our results indicates that the proposed FWM-aware LTD scheme with the novel WA technique can achieve similar congestion levels (of lightpaths) and bandwidth utilization efficiency without any need of additional network resources as compared with the existing FWM-unaware LTD schemes.     

A Framework for Differentiated Survivable Optical Virtual Private Networks

Wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks are matured to provide, scalable data centric infrastructure, capable of delivering flexible, value added, high speed and high bandwidth services directly from the optical domain. Optical virtual private networks (OVPNs) make use of the concept of highly reconfigurable nature of lightpaths offered by WDM, to create secure tunnels of high bandwidth across the intelligent WDM optical transport network. An OVPN is a private connection between two or more edge devices (access nodes), that allows a group of clients to fully exploit the flexibility of the switched intelligent optical network. However, OVPNs will not be a viable alternative unless they can guarantee a predictable bandwidth, availability, response time, and fault-tolerance to users. In this paper, we study the problem of dynamically establishing lightpaths for OVPNs over intelligent optical transport networks to provide varying classes of service based on the type of primary and backup lightpaths and the number of backup lightpaths, when each OVPN is specified by the desired logical connectivity and Class of Service. The type of primary and backup lightpaths determines the QoS parameters such as response time and bandwidth. Whereas, the number of backup lightpaths determines the level of fault-tolerance and availability of OVPN. Based on the service classes, any OVPN in the network falls into one of the six classes viz. single dedicated primary and single dedicated backup (SDPSDB), single dedicated primary and multiple dedicated backups (SDPMDB), single dedicated primary and single shared backup (SDPSSB), single shared primary and single shared backup (SSPSSB), single shared primary and multiple shared backups (SSPMSB), and best-effort (BE). In BE, we consider two variations—(1) OVPN as dedicated logical ring topology (DLRT) and (2) OVPN as shared logical ring topology (SLRT). We conduct extensive simulation experiments to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of different classes of OVPNs for varying network configurations–varying number of fibers, wavelengths on physical links, and number of nodes in OVPN.

Fast Routing Algorithms for Lightpath Establishment in Wavelength-Routed Optical Networks

In this paper, we study shortest-path routing in wavelength-routed optical networks with an objective to optimize the average-case running time for path computation. Four fast routing algorithms are proposed for dynamically computing the shortest lightpaths or semilightpaths in a network with or without wavelength converters. To reduce the average-case running time for path computation, sequential search, backward routing, and informed search are used in the algorithm design. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms can significantly reduce the average-case computational overhead for path computation as compared with existing algorithms.

Burstification Queue Management in Optical Burst Switching Networks

Among the various issues lying in optical burst switching (OBS) networks, burstification, i.e., assembling multiple IP packets into bursts, is an important one. Between the two important aspects related to burst assembly, the burst assembly algorithm aspect has been extensively studied in the literature. However, as far as we know, there is no research about the burstification queue management (BQM) aspect, which refers to how many burstification queues (BQ) we should set at each OBS edge node and how to manage these BQs. Suppose there are G destinations (egress edge nodes) and the OBS network provides S different quality of service (QoS) classes. Traditionally, it is simply regarded that each ingress edge node needs G· S queues to sort incoming packets, one for each possible destination and QoS class. For simplicity, we call this policy the static dedicate BQM (SDB) policy. The SDB policy, though simple, lacks scalability since we have to add S BQs at each OBS edge node if an extra OBS edge node is added to the OBS network. To solve this problem, we propose in this paper two BQM policies: quasi-static BQM (QSB) policy and dynamic BQM (DB) policy. For the QSB policy, we derive the packet loss probability due to lacking BQs based on a Markov chain, from which we can work out the employed number of BQs for a given packet loss probability. Based on these results, the scalability of the QSB policy is also studied. With the DB policy, we not only can dynamically assign BQs for incoming packets, but also can dynamically allocate buffer capacity for each BQ by using a least-mean-square (LMS)-based linear prediction filter. The performance of the DB policy is investigated by analysis and extensive simulations. We also compared the performance of the QSB policy and the DB policy. Results from analysis and simulation demonstrate that the DB policy is the best.

Waveguide Filter for Reducing Crosstalk in All Optical Networks

A novel filter structure which can reduce the crosstalk in cross-connection and switching in all optical networks based on dense wavelength division multiplexing(DWDM) is presented.The filter is constructed by dielectric waveguide with the waveguide boundary or the waveguide itself uncontinuous in transmitting direction.Using the concept of effective refractive index of plane waveguide system, we can get a special index profile along the wave propagation direction by alternatively changing the thickness of waveguide film or its refractive index.Having proved this kind of waveguides with filtering properties, the design principle of an example is given, which will be very useful to reduce the crosstalk in optical cross-connection and switching in all optical networks based on DWDM. This kind of filters can be easily connected with other related component.
