		<description><![CDATA[In CAble TeleVision CATV overlay Passive Optical Networks PONs, where a CATV signal copropagates with a downstream baseband signal, the crosstalk components mediated by Stimulated Raman Scattering SRS limit the performance of low-number CATV channels. This paper proposes and demonstrates a way of reducing the SRS-induced crosstalk in CATV overlay...]]></description>

		<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=382098]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[Optical networks are fast and reliable networks that enable, amongst others, dedicated light paths to be established for elephant IP flows. Elephant IP flows are characterized by being small in number, but long in time and high in traffic volume. Moving these flows from the general IP network to dedicated...]]></description>

		<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=381980]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[This paper presents a new idea for the management of lambda-connections in optical networks. The idea consists of making multi-service optical switches responsible for automatically detecting IP flows at the packet-level, creating lambda-connections for them, and moving them to the optical-level. In addition to that, they are also in charge...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Passive Optical Network PON is one of the important access network technologies to provide end users the cost effective broadband services. The coverage of a PON is mainly restricted by the optical signal loss between the Optical Line Terminal OLT and the K Optical Network Units ONUs. Even if the...]]></description>
