英文原文 A Differentiated Optical Services Model for WDM Networks Nada Golmie, Thomas D. Ndousse, and David H. Su, National Institute of Standards and Technology ABSTRACT This article addresses the issues of scalable end-to-end QoS in Metropolitan DWDM networksserving as transit networks for IP access networks. DWDM offering a few wavelengths has been deployed in the past in backbone networks to upgrade point-to-point transmission where sharing is based on coarse granularity. This type of DWDM backbone network, offering a few lightpaths, provides no support for QoS services traversing the network. As DWDM networks with larger numbers of wavelengths penetrate the datacentric metro environment, specific IP service requirements such as priority restoration, scalability,dynamic provisioning of capacity and routes,and support for coarse-grain QoS capabilities will have to be addressed in the optical domain inorder to achieve end-to-end QoS over a DWDM network. We propose a QoS service model in theoptical domain called differentiated optical services (DoS) based on a set of optical parameters that captures the quality and reliability of the optical lightpath. INTRODUCTION It is becoming increasingly evident that dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), offering multigigabit rates per wavelength, will soon become the core technology for the next-generation Internet. However, harnessing the unprecedented bandwidth offered by DWDM to meet the rapidly growing Internet traffic in the metropolitan network environment will require DWDM networks to be optimized for IP services and IP quality of service (QoS). Optical networks such as synchronous optical network/synchronous digital hierarchy (SONET/SDH) have traditionally been perceived as high-capacity transmission pipes with negligible delays and transmission errors. As a consequence, it is generally argued that the effort to develop effective QoS for optical networks cannot be justified, since individual packets or even aggr
