Abstract:Recent advances in optical networking reveal that large-scale optical networks supporting heterogeneous traffic may soon become economical as the underlying backbone in wide area networks, in which optical routers play a key role. One big challenge in designing future large-scale optical systems is packet scheduling for the core optical routers. The optical router is a delay system with packets waiting at its ingress queues. A scheduler is necessary to allocate resources so that delay and jitter sensitive real… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
