Abstract:
Optical networks are facing increased levels of heterogeneity, from types of services to the range of technologies involved. In this paper, we focus on the inter-domain heterogeneity scenario and consider the case of a set of interconnected network domains, each one using its own optical networking technology (wavelength-routing, optical burst-switching or wavelength-routed optical burst switching). We discuss different approaches to deal with such heterogeneity in order to provide end-to-end connections traversing different domains, including the use of hierarchical PCE (Path Computation Element) mechanisms and interfacing strategies between optical burst switching and wavelength routing-based networks.
