  • The GMPLS Control Plane Architecture for Optical Networks: Routing and Signaling for Agile High Speed Switching David Griffith
    1 The GMPLS Control Plane Architecture for Optical Networks: Routing and Signaling for Agile High Speed Switching David Griffith Abstract Optical networking technology underwent a major revolution in the 1990s as the old paradigm of Synchronous Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH) systems to support circuit-switched connections began to give way to a new mesh network of transparent, high-speed optical switches with the capability to support a variety of higher-layer traffic types and services. In order for such a network to operate efficiently, it is essential that it employ a control plane that is capable of managing both legacy framed traffic and new traffic types. Also, the optical control plane must be able to operate across network boundaries, both at the edge interface to the customer’s equipment and at administrative domain boundaries in the core network. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has tasked several working groups to develop the architecture for such a control plane as well as protocols to support its functioning. These groups’ work has built on previous work in the IETF on Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), which was developed to allow packet routers to operate more efficiently. In this chapter, we describe the Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) architecture and related protocols, specifically the Resource reSerVation Protocol with Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) for signaling, Open Shortest Path First with Traffic Engineering (OSPF-TE) for routing, and the Link Management Protocol (LMP). Index Terms GMPLS, WDM, CR-LDP, RSVP-TE, ISIS-TE, OSPF-TE, LMP, protection and restoration, traffic engineering I. INTRODUCTION Optical communications technology has experienced tremendous growth in the nearly 30 years since the first telephone calls were transmitted commercially over fiber by AT&T.

  • The Regional Driving Force
    Invest In Egypt THE REGIONAL DRIVING FORCE Invest in Communications and Information Technology 1 QUICK FACTS Quick Facts - The government, along with telecoms operators, are working to develop Egypt's telecommunications infrastructure - which has been and will continue to be a driver of the PC market. - Competition will result in declining prices, extending the affordability of services. - The government's National ICT Strategy is targeting 13mn broadband subscriptions by 2015 and over the same period is investing to link 10% of telephone exchanges with fibre-optic cables. - In May 2014 Egypt's Communications Minister stated that more than EGP130bn (USD18.5bn) must be invested in the development of Egypt's ICT infrastructure by 2020. The Egyptian government has reportedly planned three national projects to boost the ICT sector. Around EGP45bn (USD6.4bn) has been allocated for the first project, which involves improving access to high speed internet services. 2 SOCIOECONOMIC IMPORTANCE - Emerging information and communication technology (ICT) is setting the pace for a changing, competitive and dynamic global marketplace and representing an enabling platform for business and socioeconomic development in the 21st century. In that respect, developing nations are urged to keep pace regularly with the developments taking place in the developed world through the design and implementation of plans for universal access in terms of ICT literacy and its effective utilization for developmental purposes. It is important to note that building the ICT infrastructure will not realize quantum leaps in the development process unless it is coupled with concrete projects and activities that engage the community at large with its different stakeholders irrespective of their locations whether urban or remote, gender or background.

  • Freedom on the Net 2019
    Egypt Not Free 26 100 A Obstacles to Access 10 25 B Limits on Content 11 35 C Violations of User Rights 540 Last Year's Score & Status 28 100 Not Free Overview Internet freedom declined further as a result of increased blocking in the period surrounding the April 2019 constitutional referendum as well as two new pieces of legislation that allowed the blocking of websites deemed to threaten national security, compelled service providers to retain user data, and subjected bloggers and social media users to account deletion, fines, and imprisonment if they were found to be spreading false news. Pretrial detention for various journalists and activists was repeatedly extended during the coverage period. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who first took power in a July 2013 coup, continues to govern Egypt in an increasingly authoritarian manner. Meaningful political opposition is virtually nonexistent, as both liberal and Islamist activists face criminal prosecution and imprisonment. Terrorism persists in the Sinai Peninsula and has also struck the Egyptian mainland, despite the government’s use of aggressive and often abusive tactics to combat it. Key Developments June 1, 2018 – May 31, 2019 In August 2018, President Sisi signed a new law that compels media outlets to obtain a license from the Supreme Council for Media Regulation (SCMR). The legislation defines media outlets to include any website or social media account with at least 5,000 subscribers, and the individuals behind such outlets could be subject to account deletion, fines, and imprisonment if they are found to be spreading false news. The law was first implemented in March 2019, when authorities fined and blocked the website of the independent newspaper Al-Mashhad (see B1, B6 and C2).
