Title:Performance evaluation of TCP/IP over SCTP/IP Parallel Networking with Parallel Routes Transmission
Authors: Shota YAMADA Daisuke ISHII, Satoru OKAMOTO, and Naoaki YAMANAKA
Summary: In this paper, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) over Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)/IP parallel transmission system is proposed to realize large TCP/IP throughput over parallel transmission.
The proposed system is implemented on the software switch to evaluate parallel transmission performance. The evaluation results indicated that the proposed system can achieve 90% throughput compared with the serial transmission when the delay difference among parallel routes is 20 msec.

Summary:
The Internet is an extremely convenient network and has become one of the key infrastructures for daily life. However, it suffers from three serious problems; its structure does not suit traffic centralization, its power consumption is rapidly increasing, and its round-trip time (RTT) and delay jitter are large. This paper proposes an extremely energy efficient layer-3 network architecture for the future Internet. It combines the Service Cloud with the Cloud Router and application servers, with the Optical Aggregation Network realized by optical circuit switches, wavelength-converters, and wavelength-multiplexers/demultiplexers. User IP packets are aggregated and transferred through the Optical Aggregation Network to Cloud transparently. The proposed network scheme realizes a network structure well suited to traffic centralization, reduces the power consumption to 1/20-1/30 compared to the existing Internet, reduces the RTT and delay jitter due to its simplicity, and offers easy migration from the existing Internet.

Title:A Study of Fast Fault Recover Method using k-Hop Flooding
for Wide Area Layer2 Network
Abstract:A fast fault recovery method using temporary forwarding of frames has been proposed for wide area layer 2 network with high reliability. In the conventional method, the fault detection nodes forward frames based on pre-established recovery table when a fault occurs. The tables, however, are created without consideration on destination node of path, the frames are dropped before the arrival to the destination node. In this paper, a new fast fault recovery method using k-hop flooding is proposed for decrease in frame losses with no arrival to destination node. The proposed method can decrease frame losses with forwarding from fault detection nodes to all neighbor nodes. By computer simulation, it is shown effective range in proposed method from several perspectives.

Title: A Study of Next Generation Metro-Access Hybrid Scalable Network by
Using PLZT Ultra High Speed Optical Wavelength Selective Switch
Abstract:We study a novel optical access network with active optical switches, called ActiON (Active Optical Network), as a next generation access network to replace PON (Passive Optical Network). In this paper, we focus on a scalability of ActiON so that it accommodates 600000 users to propose next generation metro-access hybrid scalable network by using PLZT optical wavelength selective switch. In the evaluation, we discuss about energy consumption and blocking ratio. We show that proposed network reduces 65 % of energy consumption compare to
the present network. Furthermore, blocking ratio of proposed network is always lower than a quality assurance of the Internet service.

Title: A Design Method of Large Scale Optical Switching Network with Low Optical Loss and High Reliability
Abstract:An optical aggregation network, which connects an giant router and thousands of users in one hop,has proposed to reduce the power consumption of today’s Internet greatly. This paper shows a design method of an all-optical aggregation network using 2×2 PLZT optical switches. The proposed architecture achieves both low optical loss and high reliability by combining the features of tree topology and ring topology.

Title: Path Recon五guration Method Using Next Hop Table for Autonomous GMPLS Control in Energy efficient Network MiDORi
Abstract:Recently, energy savlng Of network is emerglng aS an important problem due to an increase of trafRc and power consumption・ Thus, we have been proposing the MiDORi(Multi-(layer, path, and resources) Dynamically Optimized Routing) network architecture to achieve energy saving by aggregating the traffic using Traffic Engineering and switching off the unused port of network equipment. In MiDORi, NM(Network Manager) Conagures each switch during path reconfiguration・ However, there is a problem that the configuration time becomes huge in large network. This paper proposes autonomous MiDORi network using modified GMPLS (Generalized Multi Protocol Label Switching), in which signaling protocol controls establishment of paths as well as power of ports for fast reconfiguration・ Moreover, in this paper, new path switching method which each node holds next-hop table for power controlling is proposed. Implementation shows that proposed architecture can redllCe 79% of path establishment time.
