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.
