Many emerging next-generation Internet applications, such as videoconferencing, multimedia distribution, and high-performance scientific computing, are characterized by high bandwidth requirements, multi-source and multi-destination communication paradigms, strict quality of service (QoS) requirements with respect to delay and loss, and high reliability and survivability requirements. In order to support these diverse requirements, emerging networks must be able to manage resources in a flexible manner. This project investigates a service-oriented optical network architecture that is enabled by an underlying optical transport network capable of dynamic and agile resource allocation. An optical transport layer provides the basic mechanisms for reserving resources, and an optical service layer builds a set of services over the basic optical transport layer. In the project, specific problems to be addressed include 1) investigating mechanisms for supporting manycast communication services in optical networks, 2) investigating mechanisms for providing survivability in such networks, and 3) developing methods for supporting reliable transport in optical networks. The proposed activity will result in a framework and an architecture for deploying a wide range of services in optical networks in order to support the requirements of the most demanding next-generation applications. The project will also result in the development of new algorithms and protocols for implementing manycasting and providing reliable services, and will lead to the development of analytical models for evaluating these algorithms and protocols. The broader impact of the proposed activity is that it will provide valuable training for graduate students, preparing them for careers in research and engineering in the field of optical networking.

许多新兴的下一代互联网应用，如视频会议、多媒体分发和高性能科学计算，其特征在于高带宽要求、多源和多目的地通信范例、关于延迟和丢失的严格服务质量（QoS）要求以及高可靠性和生存性要求。 为了支持这些不同的需求，新兴网络必须能够以灵活的方式管理资源。 该项目研究面向服务的光网络架构，该架构由能够动态和敏捷资源分配的底层光传输网络实现。 光传输层提供用于预留资源的基本机制，并且光服务层在基本光传输层上构建一组服务。在该项目中，要解决的具体问题包括：1）研究在光网络中支持多播通信服务的机制，2）研究在这种网络中提供生存性的机制，以及3）开发在光网络中支持可靠传输的方法。拟议的活动将产生一个框架和架构，用于在光网络中部署各种服务，以支持要求最高的下一代应用程序的要求。该项目还将导致开发新的算法和协议，用于实施多播和提供可靠的服务，并将导致开发用于评估这些算法和协议的分析模型。 拟议活动的更广泛的影响是，它将为研究生提供宝贵的培训，为他们在光网络领域的研究和工程事业做好准备。
