Demonstration of connection-oriented optical burst switching network utilising PLC and MEMS switches

The first demonstration of a connection-oriented optical burst data switching network constructed with PLC and MEMS switches employing GMPLS control is reported. Optical burst data switching in a six-node photonic network using the general switch management protocol (GSMP) is successfully, demonstrated.

An Efficient Handover Mechanism Using the General Switch Management Protocol on a Multi-Protocol Label Switching Network

Using the general switch management protocol on a multi-protocol label switching network, we present an efficient method for handling handovers. The proposed method directly changes an established path into a new path for supporting a handover. Our investigation reveals the effects of the proposed scheme and demonstrates that this method significantly reduces signaling costs and delays.
