Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)

Introduction
In a WDM system, each of the wavelengths is launched into the fiber, and the signals are demultiplexed at the receiving end. Like TDM, the resulting capacity is an aggregate of the input signals, but WDM carries each input signal independently of the others. This means that each channel has its own dedicated bandwidth; all signals arrive at the same time, rather than being broken up and carried in time slots. The difference between WDM and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is f ....etc

Switching and Traffic Grooming in WDM Networks at java

Abstract: We consider the role of switching in minimizing the number of electronic ports (e.g., SONET ADMs) in an optical network that carries sub-wavelength traffic. Providing nodes with the ability to switch traffic between wavelengths, such as through the use of SONET cross-connects, can reduce the required number of electronic ports. We show that only small switches distributed among the nodes in the ring are needed for significant reductions in the number of ports. We charac ....etc

Abstract
This work proposes a simple and cost effective local access WDM-PON architecture that combines the salient features of both traditional static WDM-PON (i.e., dedicated connectivity to all subscribers with bit rate and protocol transparencies, guaranteed QoS, and increased security) and dynamic WDM-PON (i.e., efficiently utilizing network resources via dynamic wavelength allocation/sharing among end-users ....etc

In optical WDM networks, since each lightpath can carry a huge mount of traffic, failures may seriously damage the end-user applications.As a result, fault-tolerance is an important issue in these networks. The primary path is the light path which carries traffic during normal operation. in case of a failure, the traffic is rerouted on a backup path. a reliable and fault-tolerant routing algorithm is discussed in this paper for establishing primary and backup path. load balancing is used to establish the primary path. In this method, the pa ....etc

Abstract:
wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology which multiplexes multiple optical carrier signals on a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths (colours) of laser light to carry different signals. This allows for a multiplication in capacity, in addition to enabling bidirectional communications over one strand of fiber. This is a form of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) but is commonly called wavelength division multiplexing.in wavelength division multiplexing a technique to upgrade the transmission bandwidth ....etc

The need for high bandwidth in today's IP-based Internet, and the promise of WDM to provide this high capacity, is fueling the current investigations on IP-over-
WDM networks. Internet growth not only requires providing immense bandwidth but also triggers the need for providing the guarantees with respect to quality of service, security, and fault tolerance. Currently telecommunication networks use SONET/SDH for transmission, multiplexing and protection. It is implemented over WDM. As a result we are using the IP over SONET/SDH ....etc

Abstract
Most device drivers have one ulterior motive and one target to achieve - deliver the maximum using the minimum. No matter how stable or feature rich a device driver might be, if it cannot perform in terms of high throughput and low CPU utilization, it is as good as any other run of the mill driver.The objective of this topic is to use the thinking out of the box concept and expose techniques, which go beyond just good programming principles to get that extra edge which can put your next driver into the elite group of high perform ....etc
