TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the cost reduction potential of an ASON/GMPLS based control plane and show an important impact of the used resilience scheme on the expenses directly related to continuous costs of infrastructure (floorspace, energy,...) and on the planning and reparation costs.

TL;DR: This work assesses the logical performance of a single optical packet router (OPR), focusing on packet loss rate (PLR), and shows that the discussed PLR-based routing algorithm can be easily extended to multiple priorities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to use the geometry of the building and the used materials to predict the path loss in indoor environments, but the results appear to be very dependent on geometrical details of the ground plan, which force the user to work with very accurate plans.

TL;DR: Applying the analysis method, it is shown that 50% of the reactive decisions performed by the BGP routing system (reactive routing) tend to further delay convergence of the forwarding paths, the first indication that simple causal effects can't explain anymore the occurrence of instability.

TL;DR: It is shown that multistage OPS node designs can result in cheaper, modular upgradeable designs, and the cost evolution for different design choices is evaluated, using several scenarios.
