The MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is a framework for the construction and operation of reliable packet-switched transport networks based on architectures Pseudowires. Its development has been shared between IETF, where expertise resides, ITU-T, with its historic understanding networks. MPLS-TP adds two significant features to toolkit: Operations, Administration, Maintenance (OAM), linear protection switching. Unlike OAM, which resulted in application specific incompatible standards being...

Managing queuing delays is crucial for maintaining Quality of Service (QoS) in real-time media communications. Customizing traditional routing protocols to meet specific QoS requirements—particularly terms minimizing delay and jitter media—can be both complex time-intensive. Furthermore, these often encounter challenges when adapted vendor-specific hardware implementations. To address issues, this paper leverages the programmable features Software-Defined Networking (SDN) simplify process...

Shared mesh protection (SMP) is a mechanism that recovers traffic delivery against failures on working path as rapidly linear protection. In addition, it allows for resource sharing among the paths with different endpoints in network by coordinating use of shared resources when multiple compete these resources. Owing to limited and preemption consequence priority comparison, SMP introduces new optimization problem whose objective find optimal assignment maximizes number protected services...

Packet losses in the network significantly impact performance. Most TCP variants reduce transmission rate when detecting packet losses, assuming congestion, resulting lower throughput and affecting bandwidth-intensive applications like immersive applications. However, not all are due to congestion; some occur wireless link issues, which we refer as non-congestive losses. In today's hybrid Internet, packets of a single flow may traverse wired segments reach their destination. should react...

A chip-to-chip signaling scheme employs partial response detection (PRD) combined with the zero-delay time delivery of a global timing reference, or mean (GMT). High-output-impedance drivers and higher termination resistances for signal transmission reduce driver power to 10 mW range while maintaining data rate 500Mb/s. The resulting intersymbol interference (ISI) is eliminated by PRD receivers, type auto-zero-comparator. Signal lines are segmented pipelined buffers limit segment lengths...
