TL;DR: Two distributed approaches that integrate information about most relevant physical impairments in RWA and lightpath provisioning are presented and assessed and functional requirements, architectural functional blocks, and protocol extensions for implementing either an impairment-aware real-time RWA, or a light Path provisioning based on impairment- aware signaling are provided.

TL;DR: This work proposes a taxonomy of the existing solutions of photonic artificial neural networks (categorized into multilayer perceptrons, convolutional neural networks, spiking neural Networks, and reservoir computing) with emphasis on proof-of-concept implementations.

TL;DR: Not only can the SW multiplane architecture achieve higher throughput by exploiting two switching domains, but its performance is shown to be highly scalable with network utilization and with an energy efficiency superior to single-plane architectures.

TL;DR: The main idea is to overcome lightpath blocking due to excessive physical impairments by means of successive lightpath set up attempts performed by generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) signaling protocol along alternate routes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed two label preference (LP) schemes compliant with RSVP-TE message exchanges to reduce the backward blocking in wavelength-routed networks based on a GMPLS control plane.
