    摘要: In a traffic engineering technique, a determination is made as to whether any path of a number of predetermined paths meets requirements corresponding to a request. The predetermined paths are determined by substantially maximizing carried demand using at least traffic demand estimates and network topology information and by performing routing for the substantially maximized carried demand. If a given path meeting the requirements is found, a connection on the given path is created, if possible. The predetermined paths are determined through offline TE techniques referred to herein as offline design-based routing (DBR). The requirements for the path may include a destination address and a bandwidth. The offline DBR techniques can include uncertain static demand information or dynamic connections. The offline DBR techniques may be used with adaptive DBR techniques, such that paths are determined offline if possible but can also use shortest path first (SPF), constrained SPF (CSPF) or other techniques during an online path determination. An improvement to a conventional CSPF technique is also presented.

    摘要: In a system and method of optical communication, optical signals are generated in multiple wavelength channels. Each optical signal is passively transported from an origination node of a network to a destination node. The destination node is determined by the signal wavelength. For at least some signals, the passive transport includes transport through a branch point of the network, such that the signal wavelength determines the output branch through which the signal is routed. In certain embodiments, signals are generated according to a schedule devised to substantially prevent the concurrent arrival, at the same destination node, of signals having the same wavelength but coming from different origination nodes.

    摘要: A communication network is configured to implement time scale separated management and provisioning optimizations, for example, in a core optical network coupled to multiple data networks. Network management optimizations are performed at respective points in time separated by intervals of a first time scale, and network provisioning optimizations are performed at respective points in time separated by intervals of a second time scale, with the intervals of the second time scale being on average substantially longer than the intervals of the first time scale. Moreover, at least a given one of the intervals of the second time scale has a length which is determined based on results of performance of one or more of the network management optimizations. The core optical network may be configured utilizing information specified by the network management and network provisioning optimizations.

    摘要: Generalized Processor Sharing (GPS) is a scheduling discipline which provides minimum service guarantees as well as fair resource sharing. The performance of GPS is governed by the scheduling weights associated with individual connections. The system discloses methods for GPS scheduling that handle an arbitrary number of connection classes and reservation-based weights and admission control techniques to achieve fairness among connection classes. The methods allow statistical multiplexing gains in the presence of multiple traffic and Quality of Service (QoS) classes of connections that share a common trunk. Also disclosed are several novel techniques to compute and adapt the weights.

    摘要: A method is described for solving traffic engineering problems in a network. In one aspect, the invention is used in a network that has at least one QoS service class and at least one class of service that is not a QoS class. Bandwidth is allocated to service routes in the QoS service class so as to optimize a figure of merit such as network revenue. Then a new allocation is made so as to minimize network usage without departing too far from the optimal value of the figure of merit. A residual network consists of that bandwidth that remains unallocated, on each link of the network. Bandwidth for non-QoS traffic is allocated to routes on the residual network. In a second aspect, the invention involves the use of optimization techniques to allocate bandwidth among service routes in one or more service classes in response to a set of demands in each class. The demands are calculated so as to take into account an effective bandwidth associated with the pertinent class, and so as to make allowance for the stochastic behavior of the traffic demands that occur in practice.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, such an optimal resource allocation is determined in respect to revenue maximization for the network service provider.
