This research project focuses on optical networking and explores various topics such as traffic grooming, waveband switching, wavelength conversion, control plane, and optical burst switching. The project involves conducting a literature review, problem definition, modeling, and archival research, culminating in the delivery of a comprehensive report and presentation.

Project Overview • “Research” part of research course • Research starts with literature review • Continues with problem definition, modeling, etc. through to archival • See “how-to” linked from website • In this project, literature review is essential • Other parts may be there, depending on literature • Culminates in archival (report as well as presentation) - deliverables of project • Spectrum of problems with more/less independent research and original contribution More Original More Tutorial
Project Teams • Kishore Udayashankar, Kaveriappa Muddiyada • Anuj Dewangan, Parinda Gandhi • Vinod Damle, Hardik Thakker • Anna Raghu Kalyan, Maruti • Ameya Datar, Srikrishna Khare Prathyusha Dasari, Neil Dsouza, Jonathan Grice, Behezad Mehta Apoorv Nayak ...
Traffic Grooming • Large body of literature • Must survey representative fraction • Good survey papers exist - can leverage • Must pick two papers to explain in detail
Waveband Switching • Comparatively recent - less literature • Must survey all (or almost) • Must discuss physical devices to some extent • Identify current research directions • Explain two papers in detail
Wavelength Conversion • Comparatively older topic • BUT comparatively sparsely treated in literature • Must survey literature nearly completely • Must discuss physical devices to some extent • Identify research directions • Explain two papers from same direction
Control Plane • Almost entirely based on reading and explaining standards • Must include either ASON or ITU-T standards • Contrast with GMPLS • More reference oriented, but not necessarily easy • May take help of research papers or maganize articles
