Internet traffic continues to grow relentlessly, driven largely by increasingly high resolution video content. Although studies have shown that the majority of packets processed by Internet routers are pass-through traffic, they nonetheless have to be queued and routed at every hop in current networks, which unnecessarily adds substantial delays and processing costs. Such pass-through traffic can be better circuit-switched through the underlying optical transport network by means of pre-established circuits, which is possible in a unified packet and circuit switched network. In this paper, we propose a novel convex optimization framework based on a new destination-based multicommodity flow formulation for the allocation of circuits in such unified networks. In particular, we consider two deployment settings, one based on real-time traffic monitoring, and the other relying upon history-based traffic predictions. In both cases, we formulate global network optimization objectives as concave functions that capture the fair sharing of network capacity among competing traffic flows. The convexity of our problem formulations ensures globally optimal solutions.
The packet is the fundamental unit of transportation in modern communication networks such as the Internet. Physical layer scheduling decisions are made at the level of packets, and packet-level models with exogenous arrival processes have long been
Dynamic circuits are well suited for applications that require predictable service with a constant bit rate for a prescribed period of time, such as cloud computing and e-science applications. Past research on upstream transmission in passive optical
We introduce PULSE, a sub-microsecond optical circuit-switched data centre network architecture controlled by distributed hardware schedulers. PULSE is a flat architecture that uses parallel passive coupler-based broadcast and select networks. We emp
The energy consumption in wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSN) is much greater than that in traditional wireless sensor networks. Thus, it is a huge challenge to remain the perpetual operation for WMSN. In this paper, we propose a new heterogen
