A Real-Time Admission Control and Planning of OLS Networks

Optical Label Switching (OLS) has been proposed as new paradigm to provide optical resource provision and support of Quality of service (QoS) satisfaction for application with various constraints. Admission Control and planning are critical tasks affecting OLS networks, since the network design and data operational costs are fundamental criterion in networking platform and operation. In this paper, we introduce a novel technique for network resource and traffic management based on real-time handling of the network capability and traffic requirements. This technique handles signaling tasks, admission control and contention resolution. We develop a scalable admission control and planning formulation approach based on buffering and transmission capabilities, and traffic requirements. Finally, simulation experiments are performed in order to validate our proposal.
