The explosion of current demand has brought the contemporary multidomain core network paradigm to its limit. In the quest for new approaches that exploit recent developments in optical technology, a novel network architecture that obviates most of the expensive and loss-prone centralized all-optical switches is described in this work. It is based on clustered architecture for nodes in optical networks and features a reconciliation between dynamic resource allocation and guaranteed end-to-end network performance in a multidomain network. This article enhances the distributed, collision-free slot aggregation inside domains of clustered core nodes with dynamic switching of slots/frames between the domains. Thus, it can support dynamic sub-wavelength allocations between network domains, using standard burst-switching techniques. This extends the high efficiency and multiplexing gain into the inter-domain network even under highly bursty traffic. It features both low-cost optical add/drop edge nodes exploiting WDM transmission and agile and modular centralized electro-optical switches that are presented in conjunction with the overall network architecture. Its performance exhibits very low burst loss probability traded for a higher but tolerable and bounded delay. |
