The core network is experiencing bandwidth capacity constraints as internet traffic grows. As a result, the notion of a Multi-band flexible-grid optical network was established to increase the lifespan of an optical core network. In this…
Networks are known to be prone to link failures. In this paper we set out to investigate how networks of varying connectivity patterns respond to different link failure schemes in terms of connectivity, clustering coefficient and shortest…
Most of the existing P2P content distribution schemes implement a random or rarest piece first dissemination procedure to avoid duplicate transmission of the same pieces of data and rare pieces of data occurring in the network. This problem…
