Multicast communication in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks is traditionally
supported by the assumption that the optical crossconnects are multicast capable, ie, they …

In an effort to reduce the bottleneck between electronic sources and high speed wavelength
channels, optical time division multiplexing is proposed. In such Time Wavelength Switched …

An all-optical approach to reduce the speed mismatch between electronic sources and high-speed
wavelength channels is to time-division multiplex low-capacity circuits onto each …

In this paper we investigate techniques for provisioning advance reservation (AR) multicast
requests in multicast-incapable (MI) networks, which lack the ability to split an incoming …

With the increasing number of high-bandwidth applications, energy consumption of
networks has become an important issue that needs to be addressed. Manycasting is a …

Time-Wavelength-Switched Networks (TWSNs) provide a finer bandwidth granularity than
traditional wavelength routing networks. In TWSNs, time on every wavelength is slotted and …

Traditionally in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks, multicasting is
accomplished by splitting the signals all-optically, thereby establishing a tree of lightpaths (light-tree) …

To harness the enormous bandwidth potential of a fiber, Time Division Multiplexing over
wavelength channels has been proposed. In one type of time slotted optical network called as …

An all-optical approach to achieve finer bandwidth granularity is to time division multiplex
low capacity circuits on each wavelength channel and switch time–wavelength slots optically …

An all-optical approach to achieve finer bandwidth granularity is to time division multiplex
low capacity circuits on each wavelength channel and to switch time-wavelength slots within …
