• Dynamic routing of bandwidth guaranteed tunnels with restoration (2000, methodology): “Given these similarities and the possible standardization effort toward integrated control protocols [ 3 ], we present our routing algorithms in a more general setting and use the term LSP to denote either a bandwidth-guaranteed MPLS label-switched path or a wavelength (lambda) switched path.”
• Just-in-time signaling for WDM optical burst switching networks (2000, background): “Recently, multiprotocol lambda switching (MPS) [18] has been proposed as the preferred paradigm for controlling optical cross-connect networks.”
