Open shortest path first (OSPF) protocol is commonly used as an interior gateway protocol (IGP) in MPLS and generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks to determine the topology over which label-switched paths (LSPs) can be established. Traffic-engineering extensions (network states such as link bandwidth information, available wavelengths, signal quality, etc) have been recently enabled in OSPF (henceforth, called OSPF-TE) to support shortest path first (SPF) tree calculation upon different purposes, thus possibly achieving optimal path computation and helping improve resource utilization efficiency. Adding these features into routing phase can exploit the OSPF robustness, and no additional network component is required to manage the traffic-engineering information. However, this traffic-engineering enhancement also complicates OSPF behavior. Since network states change frequently upon the dynamic trafficengineered LSP setup and release, the network is easily driven from a stable state to unstable operating regimes. In this paper, we focus on studying the OSPF-TE stability in terms of convergence time. Convergence time is referred to the time spent by the network to go back to steady states upon any network state change. An external observation method (based on black-box method) is employed to estimate the convergence time. Several experimental test-beds are developed to emulate dynamic LSP setup/release, re-routing upon single-link failure. The experimental results show that with OSPF-TE the network requires more time to converge compared to the conventional OSPF protocol without TE extension. Especially, in case of wavelength-routed optical network (WRON), introducing per wavelength availability and wavelength continuity constraint to OSPF-TE suffers severe convergence time and a large number of advertised link state advertisements (LSAs). Our study implies that long convergence time and large number of LSAs flooded in the network might cause scalability problems in OSPF-TE and impose limitations on OSPF-TE applications. New solutions to mitigate the s convergence time and to reduce the amount of state information are desired in the future.

Recently, lightwave systems have attracted great interest not only for digital optical communication but also for the distribution of microwave and mm-wave signals in wireless applications. Future wireless communication networks are expected to offer broadband multimedia services to a large number of subscribers. As a consequence, the radio frequency is expected to be within the mm-wave band where a sufficient bandwidth for the large number of broadband channels is available. Since the electrical transmission of the mm-wave radio signals over long distances is not feasible, fiber-wireless systems have attracted great interest. They are considered to form the backbone of future broadband mm-wave wireless communication systems. Obviously, the successful implementation of mm-wave wireless communication networks in mass-market applications strongly depends on the costs of the infrastructure. In that respect, specially the cost of each single base station (BS) is a very critical factor since future wireless networks are expected to support a large number of remote BSs. Consequently, it is of great interest to reduce the base station complexity and cost. In this paper, we present a novel photonic transceiver component and discuss its application in mm-wave fiber-wireless systems. In detail, an InP-based 1 .55im waveguide electroabsorption transceiver (EATs) is presented that serves as a modulator and a photodetector simultaneously. Besides the basic device concept and its properties, the employment of high-speed EAT in 60GHz millimeter-wave (mm-wave) fiber-wireless applications is experimentally demonstrated. For the first time, full-duplex broadband (155.52Mbit/s) fiber-optic transmission in the 60GHz band has been achieved in a point-to-point link. Furthermore, a point-to-multipoint fiber-ring network architecture employing EAT is presented and in a first experiment full-duplex point-to-multipoint operation in the 60GHz band is experimentally demonstrated.
