From the authors of the lab\'s related work in the project period.

What the work found

  • Dynamic Manycasting in Optical Split-Incapable WDM Networks for Supporting High-Bandwidth Applications (2012): Supports high-bandwidth manycast without splitters.
  • On Extending ESnet's OSCARS with a Multi-Domain Anycast Service (2012): Extends a production research-network scheduler to anycast.
  • Dynamic Anycast Routing and Wavelength Assignment in WDM Networks Using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) (2011): ACO lowers blocking at the cost of longer setup and overhead.
  • Dynamic Anycasting over Wavelength Routed Networks with Lightpath Switching (2011): Lightpath switching lowers anycast blocking.
