Mr. Kasahara’s Paper and Mr. Ishi’s Paper Were Accepted for Oral Presentation at OFC2008

Mr. Kasahara’s paper about optical switch and Mr. Ishi’s paper about controlling Ethernet by GMPLS were accepted for oral presentation at OFC2008.

Mr. Kasahara’s paper
Paper title: “GMPLS-Based High-Speed Optical Slot Switching System Using PLZT Ultra-High Speed Optical Switch for HDTV Contents Delivery Network”
Authors: Teruo Kasahara, Tomohiro Tsuji, Daisuke Ishii, Yutaka Arakawa, Satoru Okamoto, Hiroyuki Tsuda, Naoaki Yamanaka, Keiichi Nashimoto
Abstract: We design and implement a new High-speed HDTV content delivery network with GMPLS-based Optical Slot Switching system which consists of 10ns switching PLZT optical switch and Ethernet/Optical Slot protocol converter as edge router.

Mr. Ishi’s paper
Paper title: “An Experiment of Controlling Gigabit Wide Area Ethernet by GMPLS Supporting Layer-2 Switching Capability”
Authors: Daisuke Ishii, Kou Kikuta, Satoru Okamoto, Naoaki Yamanaka
Abstract: An experiment of virtual private line setup over GMPLS controlled Wide Area Ethernet is presented. It was confirmed that four usage types of Layer-2 label switched paths supposed in Wide Area Ethernet were successfully established.
