Optical Burst-Switched Networks Exploiting Traffic Engineering in the Wavelength Domain

In order to simplify the design and operation of telecommunications networks, it is common to describe them in a layered structure constituted by a service network layer on top of a transport network layer. The service network layer provides services to its users, whereas the transport network layer comprises the infrastructure required to support the service networks. Hence, transport networks should be designed to be as independent as possible from the services supported, while providing functions such as transmission, multiplexing, routing, capacity provisioning, protection, and management. Typically, a transport network includes multiple network domains, such as access, aggregation, metropolitan and core, ordered by decreasing proximity to the end-users, increasing geographical coverage, and growing level of traffic aggregation.
