- Quality of Service Routing for Service Level Agreement Conformance in Optical Networks
- The present paper presents a framework for managing quality of service in future WDM core optical networks. These networks solve the bandwidth problem but transmit complexity to the control and management layers. Part of this complexity is handled by the Generalized MultiProtocol Label Switching GMPLS control plane. The latter, however,...

- Implementation of a GMPLS-Based Network With End Host Initiated Signaling
- This paper describes the authors' experiences in implementing an experimental wide-area GMPLS network called CHEETAH (Circuit-Switched End-to-End Transport Architecture). The key concept is to add a complementary end-to-end circuit based service with dynamic call-by-call bandwidth sharing to the connectionless service already available to end hosts via the Internet. The current...
