Lightpath Topology Configuration for Wavelength-Routed IP/MPLS Networks for Time-Dependent Traffic

Tags:
switching

Overview The integration of lightpath topology design and IP/MPLS traffic engineering provides greater flexibility for next generation networks. This paper considers the integrated design problem of configuration of lightpath topology and optimal routing of IP/MPLS tunnels on this lightpath topology for time-varying traffic. A mixed integer linear programming model is proposed to design an optimal configuration of lightpath topology, which takes time-dependent traffic demand as an input to the model for IP/MPLS traffic engineering. Two variants of the problem are considered: in the first variant, re-routing of IP/MPLS tunnels is not allowed from one-time period to another while reconfiguration rerouting is allowed in the second variation.

IP equals new alliances - get used to it

Anthony Plewes considers how it might affect who you end up paying for services. Much of the complexity stems from MPLS routing, and customers would need to learn new routing procedures, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
