Abstract;Based on traffic monitoring data, our cut-through optical path control technology allocates cut-through optical paths between provider edge routers on routes with a high traffic demand. To optimize the optical path arrangement, a network control server monitors traffic demand, calculates the optimal path allocation, and continuously configures the optical paths. Since this server ensures highly efficient network resource usage, high-performance packet forwarding is achieved economically. (author abst.)
