Ethernet-over-SONET(EoS) over WDM in Optical Wide-Area Networks (WANs): Benefits and Challenges |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Ethernet has been playing an increasingly important role in wide area networks ( WANs), from both a service perspective and a transport-technology perspective. Unlike its dominant presence in local area networks ( LANs), Ethernet in WANs has been increasing its popularity in three different directions, i.e., Ethernet-based layer-2 virtual private network ( L2VPN) over layer-3 network, Ethernet over SONET ( EoS), and Ethernet directly over WDM channels or optical. fibers. In this paper, we investigate the benefits and challenges of using next-generation SONET/SDH techniques - namely SONET/SDH virtual concatenation ( VCAT) and link-capacity adjustment scheme ( LCAS) - to support Ethernet-based data services in intelligent optical WDM wide area networks. In particular, we evaluate the network performance improvement after employing VCAT. In order to fully utilize VCAT's inverse-multiplexing capability, several simple and effective heuristic algorithms are proposed and evaluated. |
