Abstract:SUMMARYClustering neighbouring nodes of an all-optical core network into medium-sized rings controlled by a master node allows two-way reservation-based control to aggregate bursts destined for other clusters in a lossless way with tolerable delay. The densely packed bursts can then be sent over static or switched light paths and be received in the destination cluster ring without the delay of end-to-end reservations. This hybrid approach where two-way reservations are geographically limited inside clusters on… Show more
