The rapid increase of Internet users, diversity of application services, high speed data transmission, and extension of application areas have resulted in exponential growth of Internet traffic. In order to satisfy the increasing demand of bandwidth, the MPλS protocol, which is based on MPLS for efficient integration of WDM and IP protocols, has been suggested by IETF. In this paper, we present an MPλS simulator which enables to simulate various MPλS function such as optical crossconnect (OXC), multi-wavelength links, routing and wavelength assignment(RWA), and MPλS signaling and control. The simulator is developed based on the ns-2, an widely used multi-protocol network simulator. The function of the simulator is validated by running many simulation based on various scenarios and performance measures such as throughput and blocking probability. The simulator could be widely utilized for validation of proposed protocols before developing real optical network systems.

In this paper, we have presented the results of Wavelength Division Multiplexing-Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON) based fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) field trial test which was held in the city of Gwangju. We have implemented an injection locked Fabry-Perot Laser Diode (FP-LD) based WDM-PON system and reliably delivered Internet Protocol TV (IP-TV), networked Personal Video Recorder (N-PVR), High-Definition Video on Demand (HD-VoD), Education on Demand (EoD) and Internet service as FTTH service through the system during the field trial test. We have also verified that the WDM-PON system worked well to provide quality of service (QoS) guaranteed 100Mbps bandwidth per subscriber. Furthermore, we have presented network designing issues in Outside Plant (OSP) and Customer Premises Network (CPN) that should be overcome to efficiently deploy FTTH service. Finally, based on the field trial test results, we proposed FTTH service deployment strategies.

As optical internet network uses WDM links and provides connection-oriented services, the routing and signaling protocols of Internet should be modified to accomodate optical internet network. This paper provides the routing and signaling protocols proper to optical internet network and designs a network architecture that can support autoconfiguration of optical internet network.

향후 인터넷은 이동 환경에서 메일, 파일 전송 등의 비실시간성 응용뿐만 아니라 오디오, 비디오, 인터넷 방송 등의 실시간성 응용 서비스를 이용할 것으로 예상되며, 이를 위해 광대역 서비스뿐만 아니라 사용자의 QoS 보장이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 서비스를 위한 WDM IP전송망 기반 이동 인터넷에서 무선 접속망의 QoS 제공 방안을 제시한다. 멀티미디어 서비스를 위한 인터넷망의 모델을 제시하고, 무선 접속 구간의 트래픽의 특성 및 QoS 파라메타를 분석하며, 무선접속구간의 QoS 제공 방안을 제시한 다음, 무선접속망의 QoS 제어를 위한 프로토콜 모델 및 각 계층별 기능을 기술한다.

All-optical network provede unlimited for bandwidth, the very low bit error rate, and the transparency to IP. Optical networks promise to be the next generation networks that can meet the higher bandwidth demands. However, the number of wavelengths is often not large enough to help a large amount of nodes. The blocking by wavelength contention can be reduced by wavelength conversion, which can't perfectly resolve all situations. Because of that, a lot of groups have proposed unique wavelength assingment algorithms and protocols. Most schemes don't support the priority concepts. This paper describes the unique priority scheme based on the throughput. In this paper, we apply our priority scheme to SWAP(Simple Wavelength Assignment Protocol) and show the performance of the proposed priority scheme. Our proposed priority scheme can be a better solution to solve an important problem about the blocking by wavelength contention into WDM optical networks.

In this paper, we propose a heuristic wavelength routing algorithm for IP datagrams in WDM (Wavelength-Division Multiplexing) networks which operates in a distributed manner, while most previous works have focused centralized algorithms. We first present an efficient construction method for a loose virtual topology with a connectivity property, which reserves a few wavelength to cope with dynamic traffic demands properly. This connectivity property assures that data from any source node could reach any destination node by hopping one or multiple lightpaths. We then develop a high-speed distributed wavelength routing algorithm adaptive to dynamic traffic demands by using such a loose virtual topology and derive the general bounds on average utilization in the distributed wavelength routing algorithms. Finally, we show that the performance of the proposed algorithms is better than that of the FSP(Fixed Shortest-Path) wavelength routing algorithms through simulation using the NSFNET[1] and a dynamic hot-spot traffic model, and that the algorithms is a good candidate in distributed WDM networks in terms of the blocking performance, the control traffic overhead, and the computation complexity.

본 고에서는 최근 광인터넷망의 제어 프로토콜 기술로서 많은 관심을 끌고 있는 GMPLS 기술을 소개하고 표준화 및 연구개발 동향을 분석 고찰한다. MPLS 기술은 비연결형으로 동작하는 IP 망 내에 논리 채널인 LSP를 구성하여 연결형으로 동작하도록 함으로써 IP 트래픽의 흐름을 제어할 수 있게 한 기술로서 최근 ISP 망에 적용되기 시작했다. GMPLS는 MPLS 기술을 확장 보완하여 WDM이나 SDH 망 등의 일반적인 IP 전달망에 적용할 수 있도록 한 기술인데, 특히 광인터넷망에 적용하는 것을 가장 큰 목표로 하고 있다. GMPLS는 라우팅과 시그널링 및 광인터넷 링크 관리를 포함하는 제어 프로토콜 기술과 레이블을 이용한 사용자 평면의 데이터 전달 기술로 구성되며, 이에 대한 표준화는 IETF에서 추진하고 있다.

In recent years, WDM networks have received much attention as the Internet backbone networks because of the explosive growth of the Internet IP-based traffic. The Optical Burst Switching (OBS) has been proposed as an effective optical switching technology in the WDM networks. OBS has the advantages in 1) the high usage rate of the bandwidth, and 2) no necessity of optical buffer. However OBS has the burst-contention problem in the networks. The deflection routing is proposed as one of means to solve this problem. In this paper, we propose a new routing method of using deflection routing. In addition. we propose a QoS/CoS control method using a new routing algorithm. Finally, we show the variety of the proposed methods by computer simulations.

In this paper, we propose the functional models of optical burst switching (OBS) routers to apply GMPLS (Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching) to optical networks based on OBS. In addition, we introduce a connection admission control (CAC) algorithms which are operated in this models and can accommodate the required QoS. Firstly, the characteristics of current GMPLS and OBS for the optical Internet are basically considered. With this consideration, the models are proposed to accept OBS features which include the recognition of data boundary with control information and the statistical multiplexing in terms of bursts. Secondly, we use an offset time decision (OTD) algorithm on behalf of controlling the connection admission with taking QoS parameters such as burst loss rate(BLR) and service-differentiation ratio(SDR) into consideration. The proposed CAC algorithms use the offered load of LSP (Label Switched Path), wavelength information, and QoS parameters as inputs of OTD algorithm. A call setup request will be accepted when the offset time decided by OTD algorithm is reasonable for guaranteeing its requested QoS. Simulation is used for performance evaluation. Results show the proposed schemes can guarantee the required QoS and those are better than the previous one in terms of channel utilization.
