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.
