Abstract:In this paper, we propose an Internet Protocol (IP) resource-sharing framework (IRSF) for the UltraFlow access network that provides dual-mode service, i.e., optical IP and Flow, to the end-users. As part of IRSF, the service selector offloads a proportion of a Flow file to the underutilized IP channel, whenever such resource sharing improves Flow service delay. Simulation results indicate a maximum 25% decrease in Flow service delays achieved by IRSF in an UltraFlow access network with a single IP channel. Th… Show more
