Survivable Impairment-aware Traffic Grooming in WDM Rings

Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) optical networks offer a large amount of bandwidth using multiple, but independent wavelength channels (or lightpaths), each operating at several Gb/s. Since the traffic between users is usually only a fraction of the capacity offered by a wavelength, several independent traffic streams can be groomed...

Analytical Model for Mesh-based P2PVoD

Recently, there has been a growing interest in academic and commercial environments for Video-on-Demand (VoD) using Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology. Unlike centralized solutions for VoD services, P2P technology lets the clients distribute video content among themselves. In this paper, we propose an analytical model for P2PVoD and we compare that...
