SPIDER: A simple and flexible tool for design and provisioning of protected lightpaths in optical networks
2002
Bell Labs technical journal
Optical devices are poised to form the core of the next generation of backbone and enterprise networks. Optical routers, dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems, and cross connects of unprecedented capacities are on the verge of large-scale commercial deployment. This massive buildup of optical gear necessitates careful planning and provisioning of the basic units of transmission-the lightpaths. This paper presents a range of techniques for efficient and reliable optical network
