Optical networking and real-time provisioning an integrated vision for the next-generation Internet.

Optical networking and real-time provisioning an integrated vision for the next-generation Internet.

This article considers the problem of real-time provisioning of optical channels in hybrid IP-centric DWDM-based networks. First, we present an overview of the emerging architectural alternatives for IP over optical networks, namely, the overlay, the peer, and the augmented models. Then lightpath pr...
