Fully Distributed Work-Conserving MAC Protocols for Opportunistic Optical Hyperchannels

Fully Distributed Work-Conserving MAC Protocols for Opportunistic Optical Hyperchannels

Light-trail is proposed as a candidate to carry IP traffic over wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks given its capability of accommodating multi-granularity traffic by time-division multiplexing (TDM). Light-trail's unidirectional shared-media multicast nature makes it hard t...
