All-Optical Networking: IP over DWDM
Desnse wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) allows optical fibers
to carry hundreds of wavelength each at 2.5Gb/s to 10 Gb/s resulting in
several terabits per second capacity per fiber. All-optical switches are
required to handle routing at such massive data rates.
Using multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), carriers will be able to
quickly provision high bandwidth data circuits through optical core networks.
We are
developing and analyzing algorithms for protection and routing in
such networks. In particular, our interest is in providing quality of service
such that all connections do not have to have the same level of
protection as is the case in current carrier networks.
