Abstract:In metro Ethernet/WDM networks, it remains a challenge on how to improve performance through cross-layer traffic optimization. We experimentally study how to intelligently use L2 forwarding or L1 switching by monitoring the output queue size.
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.
