This study presented a new data link layer design for the virtual bus architecture. The virtual bus is a hierarchical access network offered a broadcast capability for data and signaling. The proposed of the study is to support Quality of Service (QoS) in network. During study, the most promising technology capable of delivering full service access at high data rates is Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)/Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET). For that reason, we develop SDH/SONET as a physical layer for the virtual bus network. The main goal of this investigation was to study the performance of transmission medium and the overall performance of the network. We exemplify a Multiple Access Protocol (MAP) with Generic Frame Procedure (GFP) for transmitting IP network protocol datagram over SDH/SONET. This is a novel method for transmitting MAP with GFP. The protocol adds multi-terminal access capability to an inherently point-to-point link. It enabled the design of seamless networking environments using SDH/SONET as the transmission medium for Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). The new frame mapping protocol is known as Virtual Bus Transport (VBT). The performance of multiple traffic generators in a virtual bus network is of major interest for mobile network provider. We used OMNeT simulation tool to evaluate the result. Through the simulation it proved that the VBT scheduling technique offers better treatment mainly to the higher Qos requirement traffic.

From the optical networking perspective, the future Internet may be viewed as a three-level hierarchy consisting of backbone networks, metropolitan area networks, and local access networks, as illustrated in Fig. 1. The backbone networks will provide abundant bandwidth by employing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) links that are interconnected with reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (OADMs) and optical cross connects [1]. The metropolitan area networks, or metro networks for short, interconnect the backbone networks with the local access networks. The local access networks carry the data from and to the individual users. By employing advanced LAN technologies, such as Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), and broadband access, such as xDSL and cable modems, access networks provide increasing amounts of bandwidth. Most existing metro networks are based on synchronous optical network with synchronous digital hierarchy (SONET/SDH) technology, a circuit-switched networking technology. As will be discussed in more detail, circuit-switched SONET/SDH metro networks carry bursty packet traffic relatively inefficiently, resulting in a 2 IEEE

As cloud computing data centers grow larger and networking devices proliferate; many complex issues arise in the network management architecture. We propose a framework for multi-layer; multi-vendor optical network management using open standards-based software defined networking (SDN). Experimental results are demonstrated in a test bed consisting of three data centers interconnected by a 125 km metropolitan area network; running OpenStack with KVM and VMW are components. Use cases include inter-data center connectivity via a packet-optical metropolitan area network; intra-data center connectivity using an optical mesh network; and SDN coordination of networking equipment within and between multiple data centers. We create and demonstrate original software to implement virtual network slicing and affinity policy-as-a-service offerings. Enhancements to synchronous storage backup; cloud exchanges; and Fibre Channel over Ethernet topologies are also discussed.

We have performed time transfer experiments based on passive listening in fiber optical networks using Packet over synchronous optical networking (SONET)/synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH). The experiments have been performed with different complexity and over different distances. For assessment of the results, we have used a GPS link based on carrier-phase observations. On a 560-km link, precision that is relative to the GPS link of <; 1 ns has been obtained over several months. In this paper, we describe and quantify the different error sources influencing the fiber time transfer measurements. We show that the temperature dependence of the optical fiber is the major contribution to the error budget, and, thus, reducing this effect should be the best way of improving the results.

The access network is the last loop, or last mile, in the provider network between the central office (CO) or point of presence (PoP) and the customer premises. Competitive pressure to provide high-bandwidth services (such as video) to consumers, and Ethernet transport to enterprises, is forcing service providers to rebuild their access networks. More optical fibers are being added in the last mile to meet these new bandwidth demands since legacy access networks have not been sufficient to support bandwidth-intensive applications. This chapter reviews the multiple definitions of “optical access” and the migration from direct copper loops to a variety of optical architectures, including Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET), Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), Fiber to the x (FTTx), Ethernet and wavelength delivery. Key business drivers such as carrier competition, bandwidth needs, and the reliability and service level agreement issues of optical technology are covered. The chapter concludes by considering the near future of optical access product trends and key optical deployment options in applications such as cellular backhaul. The data presented in this chapter is mainly based on our recent deployment experience in the North American optical access market segment.

A transport network is a lower-layer network designed to provide
connectivity services for a higher-layer network to carry the traffic
opaquely across the lower-layer network resources. A transport network
may be constructed from equipment utilizing any of a number of
different transport technologies such as the optical transport
infrastructure (Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) / Synchronous
Digital Hierarchy (SDH) and Optical Transport Network (OTN)) or packet
transport as epitomized by the MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS- TP). All
transport networks have high benchmarks for reliability and
operational simplicity. This suggests a common, technology-
independent management/control paradigm that can be extended to
represent and configure specific technology attributes. This document
describes the high-level requirements facing transport networks in
order to provide open interfaces for resource programmability and
control/management automation. Furtheremore, gap analysis against
existing models are also provided so that it can used as the guidance
to separate efforts/drafts proposing new models or augmentation models
based on existing models.

Synchronous optical network (SONET) and synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) contiguous concatenation have enabled high-speed networking in both metro and core networks for many narrow-band and broadband services including digital subscriber loop (DSL), cable, and Ethernet. Ironically, the tremendous success and rise of data traffic have, in part, put the focus on some of the inefficiencies and inflexibilities of SDH contiguous concatenation. Here I examine these shortcomings, survey available bandwidth efficiency techniques for data transport, examine two relatively new mechanisms known as virtual concatenation and link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS) that address these issues, and finally present several potential applications for these technologies.

Optical networking is attracting a large amount of interest, particularly for local access and increasingly for long-haul, or core, network applications. However, optical networks are essentially analog, and with this return to analog transmission there are a number of issues that need to be understood and overcome if the concept of an optical transport layer is to become a reality. The Multi-Wavelength Transport Network (MWTN) within the European RACE II research program is studying the potential for optical networking in a managed network environment. This article outlines the MWTN networking concept and the comprehensive experimental test bed developed within the project. Communication networks are poised, awaiting the broadband revolution. Telecommunication, computer, and broadcast entertainment market places are converging with multimedia-based future services providing the drive and focus. In such an information-intensive future, customers will demand high-performance service with an agreed and measurable quality at the lowest cost. Furthermore, they will expect a common interface to all services. From a customer's perspective, the role of the network, the terminal equipment and the computer based multimedia application will be virtually indistinguishable. The synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) techniques are at the forefront of the move toward these future communication networks.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Passive Optical Network (PON) elements such as Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and Optical Network Units (ONUs) are currently managed by inflexible legacy network management systems. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a new networking paradigm that improves the operation and management of networks. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture, based on the SDN concept, for Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPON) that includes the Service Interoperability standard (SIEPON). In our proposal, the OLT is partially virtualized and some of its functionalities are allocated to the core network management system, while the OLT itself is replaced by an OpenFlow (OF) switch. A new MultiPoint MAC Control (MPMC) sublayer extension based on the OpenFlow protocol is presented. This would allow the SDN controller to manage and enhance the resource utilization, flow monitoring, bandwidth assignment, quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees, and energy management of the optical network access, to name a few possibilities. The OpenFlow switch is extended with synchronous ports to retain the time-critical nature of the EPON network. OpenFlow messages are also extended with new functionalities to implement the concept of EPON Service Paths (ESPs). Our simulation-based results demonstrate the effectiveness of the new architecture, while retaining a similar (or improved) performance in terms of delay and throughput when compared to legacy PONs.

Current circuit-switched transport networks, such as plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH) and synchronous optical network/synchronous digital hierarchy (SONET/SDH), have traditionally used centralized network management for connection control. To facilitate the value-added capabilities of today's networks — such as the rapid provisioning of services, dynamic setup of bandwidth requests, and fast mesh-based restoration — distributed connection control using signaling protocols has quickly gained industry momentum. Efforts have been initiated in various standards bodies to define the automatically switched transport network (ASTN). Although many architectural choices are now available, this paper describes a distributed control plane architecture that can be applied to various circuit-switching technologies and different network applications. This architecture adopts the concept of a generalized version of multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), which extends and modifies MPLS and other protocols on the Internet to make them applicable to various transport networks and also facilitates optical data networking. Four major functional components are incorporated in this architecture: element-level resource discovery, state information dissemination, path selection, and path control modules. Using these concepts, the transport network can be viewed as a virtual nonblocking, reconfigurable backplane of different network clients. This view represents a radical departure from the traditional data networking view of transport networks as providing fixed pipes and will have a dramatic impact on future network interworking and end-to-end traffic engineering (TE).
