|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1 | Tunable optical transmitters and their associated tuning ranges and times. | 45 | |
| 2.2 | Tunable optical filters and their associated tuning ranges and times. | 51 | |
| 2.3 | Amplifier characteristics. | 57 | |
| 2.4 | Requirements for EDFA applications. | 84 | |
| 6.1 | Comparison of GEMNET (GN), ShuffleNet (SN) and de Bruijn (DB) graph. (Link loads are computed under the assumption of one unit of flow between every source-destination pair and different routing schemes. Also in this table, E[h] is averaged over all the individual nodes' average hop distance (E[h_i]).) | 214 | |
| 7.1 | Optimal number of wavelengths w* for N=120 and various values of $\lambda$ and R. | 247 | |
| 7.2 | w*, w_L, w_H, and w_max for R=10 and various values of N and $\lambda$. | 248 | |
| 7.3 | Delay, T, in slots, for the seven example systems. | 249 | |
| 8.1 | Traffic matrix (in bytes per 15-minute interval). | 279 | |
| 8.2 | Summary of experimental results. | 281 | |
| 8.3 | Virtual topology for nodal degree P = 4 and best scaleup (106). | 282 | |
| 8.4 | Traffic scaleups for different nodal degrees. | 286 | |
| 9.1 | Cost of upgrading the NSFNET using WDM. | 308 | |
| 9.2 | Average packet hop distance for different virtual topology establishment algorithms. | 315 | |
| 10.1 | Sample numerical results for static lightpath establishment (SLE) on a 100-node random network. | 334 | |
| 10.2 | Sample numerical results for dynamic lightpath establishment (DLE) using the LCP routing scheme on the same 100-node random network as in the static case. Same set of lightpaths as in SLE is considered, but lightpaths are made to arrive randomly. Results in this table are averaged over 10 random arrival patterns of lightpaths. | 337 | |
| 12.1 | The CST at node A. | 383 | |
| 13.1 | Traffic matrix no. 1, showing two communities of interest. | 405 | |
| 13.2 | Traffic matrix no. 2, showing balanced traffic flows. | 405 | |
| 13.3 | Traffic matrix no. 3, with each nondiagonal entry being an uniformly distributed random number between 0 and 7. | 410 | |
| 14.1 | Static analysis via exhaustive search on the network with five access stations, 5 switches, and 22 links. | 456 | |
| 14.2 | Static analysis with an expanded/contracted number of switches. | 457 | |
| 15.1 | Important parameters and their values used in the amplifier-placement algorithms. | 466 | |
| 15.2 | Number of amplifiers needed for the various amplifier-placement schemes. (Note that N = number of stations and M = number of stars for the lower bound computation. A ``*'' in column 4 indicates that the NLP solver could not perform better than the LP solution, even when it was given multiple feasible starting points, including the solutions found in [LTGC94] and [RaIM96].) | 480 | |
| 15.3 | Exact amplifier placements for the network depicted in Fig. 15.8. | 483 | |
| 15.4 | Transmitter and receiver powers for the network depicted in Fig. 15.8. | 484 |
