Routing, connection setup and path computation are well-known problems in multi-domain networks, which have been largely analyzed in pure IP (packet) networks. In circuit switched optical multi-domain networks there remain however a number of routing and path computation challenges.
Traffic grooming is combining a number of low speed traffic streams so that the high capacity of each lightpath may be used as efficiently as possible, as ...

Multi-domain routing and path computation is a well-known problem, which has extensively been analyzed in pure IP (packet) networks. In circuit switched optical multi-domain networks there are however still routing and path computation limitations that require additional investigations. Traffic grooming is combining a number of low speed traffic streams so that the high capacity of each lightpath may be used as efficiently as possible. As path ...

The Automatically Switched Optical Networks (ASONs) and the Generalized Multi Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) control plane are envisaged to play an important role in the next generation Internet. They provide optical networks with intelligence and automation and they enable the Multi-layer Traffic Engineering (MTE) paradigm. In this chapter we review different aspects of Multi-layer Traffic Engineering that have been investigated in COST ...

We investigated dyadic grooming relationships in a captive group of bonobos (Pan paniscus) and questioned what social function grooming fulfils in the `market of services and favors'. Hereto we examined which of two theoretical models - grooming for support (Seyfarth, 1977, 1980) or grooming according to the similarity principle (de Waal Luttrell, 1986) best accounted Fur. the observed grooming distribution. Similarity in traits did not ...
