Abstract

We proposed a simple method to handle IP-layer traffic surges by rapidly augmenting IP-layer link capacity over a rapidly reconfigurable optical cross-connect layer. We established both the need for this approach as well as its effectiveness by analyzing the statistical properties of actual traffic surges in a large ISP network.
