In this paper, the authors evaluate the feasibility of an optical overlay network interconnecting major cities within Europe, which employs wavelength routing to provide the required interconnection between network nodes, and have a number of key activities and achievements relating to traffic modelling, transmission, network topologies and dimensioning, and protection strategies.
Abstract
The objective of COST 239 (Ultra-High Capacity Optical Transmission Networks) is to evaluate the feasibility of an optical overlay network interconnecting major cities within Europe. This European Optical Network employs wavelength routing to provide the required interconnection between network nodes. The study has a number of key activities and achievements relating to traffic modelling, transmission, network topologies and dimensioning, and protection strategies. In this paper the emphasis is on network rather than transmission aspects.

Fast IP Network Recovery Using Multiple Routing Configurations

TL;DR: This paper presents a new recovery scheme called Multiple Routing Configurations (MRC), based on keeping additional routing information in the routers, and allows packet forwarding to continue on an alternative output link immediately after the detection of a failure.

Improved model for European international telephony traffic

TL;DR: A new model for European international telephony traffic is given that improves on the author's earlier PD model and introduces penetration factors to provide a far better match to actual traffic data than the use of population and distance alone.
