Mr. Kikuta made a presentation at Technical Meeting in December.
The titles and authours are as follows.

12/20,21 Technical Meeting on Photonic Network@Chiba University (Chiba)

Authours: Kou Kikuta, Daisuke Ishi, Satoru Okamoto, Naoaki Yamanaka (Keio Univ.)
Title: An Experiment of GMPLS Controlled Gigabit Wide Area Ethernet
Abstract: We implemented the Gigabit Ethernet Networks controlled by GMPLS for Wide Area Ethernet. InWide Area Ethernet, multiple path can be established by VLAN tag based switching, but we should control a networkby setting up the VLAN properly. In this Implementation, we realized automatic control of VLAN configure,and confirmed establishing and disconnecting the path.

Title: “New Parallel Shortest Path Searching Algorithm based on Reconfigurable Processor and Implementation on OSPF router”

Keywords: OSPF, Shortest path routing , parallel path search

Abstract: Recently OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is widely used on a large-scale network. In OSPF, Dijkstra’s algorithm is used for shortest path routing. In today’s network, shortest path routing is becomes more and more complex because of increasing network scale. However, Dijkstra’s algorithm is unsuitable for these complex calculations because of its sequential process. Then, resolving this problem, I propose parallel shortest path search algorithm that uses Dynamic reconfigurable processor DAPDNA2. Proposed algorithm greatly shortens the computing time and reduce CPU load in a simulation.Moreover, I introduce the new OSPF router which adopted our proposed algorithm using DAPDNA2.

Title: “The Distributed Data Access Schemes in λ Grid Networks”

Keywords: lambda grid, parallel downloading, WDM

Abstract: In the lambda grid system, to distribute the load, replica files are stored many servers. Parallel downloading is promising to decrease downloading time and distribute load to many servers. However, parallel downloading triggers many bottleneck links in the network, since many links are used in simultaneity. Therefore the blocking probability of new light path set up becomes high. Then we propose a server selection method for parallel downloading in WDM network which considers the wavelength availabilities of each links to decrease bottleneck links. The proposed scheme can select optimal servers and reduce the blocking probability by considering both wavelength availability for each link and original costs.

Title: “Fast Unreserved Resource Information Advertising Method”

Keywords: Traffic Engineering ,GMPLS, RSVP-TE

Abstract: In GMPLS the route is explicit, because it can decide route with the source edge rooter. GMPLS becomes possible to correspond to the change of the resource. Resource information is spread by OSPF-TE. With OSPF-TE it becomes necessary to transmit many update packets to correspond to a frequent change. By the proposed method, edge router transmits lumping together the unreserved resource information of route at the time of the route establishment and release of RSVP-TE. It becomes possible to inform about the unreserved resource the edge router in high speed, and to decrease the amount of the update packet.

Authors: Fumiko Uehara, Teruo Kasahara, Masahiro Hayashitani, Daisuke Ishii, Yutaka Arakawa, Satoru Okamoto, and Naoaki Yamanaka

Abstract: We propose SubFrame-based slot reservation scheme for minimizing the transmission delay in optical slot switching (OSS) network. The computer simulation shows that our proposed scheme can reduce the transmission delay about 25% by using SubFrames.
