The multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) community has focused its effort mainly on the label switching of unicast IP traffic, leaving the sections on multicast in the main MPLS documents virtually
This paper introduces the most relevant issues regarding efficient IP multicast over new generation satellite networks based on on board processing (OBP).
In wireless networks, mobile hosts must update the network with their current location in order to get packets delivered.
Businesses are giving a lot of attention to virtual private networks today because they allow replacement of traditional dial-up or leased lines with IP connections to more economically link branch
Due to its stateless nature, the Internet protocol (IP) requires forwarding devices to only know each packet's next hop to correctly route any IP datagram towards its final destination.
Next-generation wireless network standards are currently being defined.
We explore the problem of routing bandwidth guaranteed paths in wavelength-routed, WDM optical mesh networks.

A rich set of broadband access copper technologies is available in the market today, and more are coming out of the laboratories, rapidly moving to standardization.
Bell Labs quantified TCO savings in the order of 40% on router ports and optical transponders for an IP/optical reference network using GMPLS protection and restoration in the photonic layer, compa
