Abstract: A method for routing in a quantum network is provided. The method may include receiving parameters including a fidelity with coherence decay time and an entanglement generation rate for each quantum node in a mesh quantum network by a controller, the controller being configured to communicate with each quantum node of a plurality of quantum nodes in the mesh quantum network. Each quantum node includes a quantum memory and a processor. The method may also include analyzing the fidelity with coherence decay time and the entanglement generation rate to yield a determination of a path fidelity with a path coherence decay time and a path entanglement generation rate between at least one pair of quantum nodes. The method may further include, based on the determination, selecting a quantum communication path from a source node to a destination node.

Abstract: Techniques are presented herein for load-balancing a sequence of packets over multiple network paths on a per-packet basis. In one example, a first network node assigns sequence numbers to a sequence of packets and load-balances the sequence of packets on a per-packet basis over multiple network paths of a network to a second network node. The second network node buffers received packets that are received over the multiple network paths of the network from the first network node and re-orders the received packets according to sequence numbers of the received packets.

Abstract: The present technology provides minimal touch cable guides for rack-mounted devices. The minimal touch cable guides disclosed herein provide structures for routing cables from field replaceable units installed in a rack mounted device in such a way that cables of different types are not crossed and provides a mechanism for adjusting installed cabling to permit access to otherwise obscured field replaceable units. Such adjustment of cabling is provided in a controlled manner that does not impair the performance the installed cabling.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes n communication channels, and m communication media interfaces, and v virtual lanes. V is a positive integer multiple of the least common multiple of m and n. An information stream is transferred into data and alignment blocks striped across all of the v virtual lanes, the blocks being communicated from the virtual lanes onto the communication channels. The blocks are received on the communication channels. Each of the communication channels transmits a different portion of the blocks striped across all of the v virtual lanes.In more particular embodiments, v>=n>=m. The communication media interfaces can be electrical and optical. Each of the communication channels can include a SerDes interface operating at least 5 Gigabits per second. Furthermore, each of the m communication media interfaces is configured to transmit a different stream of information over a single optical fiber.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for enabling mapping of virtual lanes for data streams for transmission over an optical transport network (OTN). Line encoded data blocks of a first data stream are distributed at an endpoint device in an OTN. The line encoded data blocks of the first data stream are distributed across a plurality of second data streams such that the second data streams can be processed at a lower data rate than a data rate associated with the first data stream. A transcoding operation is performed on the data packets of each of the second data streams to generate transcoded data packets. The transcoded data packets are processed such that the transcoded data packets of each of the second data streams can be sent over the OTN at the lower data rate.

Abstract: A data stream with a given data rate is distributed into a plurality of virtual lanes or streams, each with a lower data rate than the data stream. Virtual lanes permit the use of lower cost electronics at the optical-electrical conversion points. Security information is generated that includes a unique initialization vector. The security information is distributed or allocated across some or all of the of the virtual data streams in a virtual lane alignment marker in a portion of the alignment marker used to maintain direct current (DC) transmission balance, but that otherwise does not provide useful information.

Abstract: A method is provided to compensate for differential delay among a plurality of paths between first and second nodes in a network. The method may involve measuring delay for each of the plurality of paths for a plurality of sub-flows transmitted between the first node and the second node on respective paths of the plurality of paths. The plurality of sub-flows are obtained by splitting a traffic flow. The method involves determining delay differences among the delay for each of the plurality of paths, and adjusting, based on the delay differences, a queue delay associated with a respective flow of the plurality of sub-flows on one or more of the plurality of paths to achieve a path delay that is equal to a target path delay for each of the plurality of paths.

Abstract: In one example, a first Provider Edge (PE) node is configured to communicate with a second PE node through a packet-switched network and with a third PE node through the packet-switched network. The first PE node communicates with a fourth PE node via the second PE node. The fourth PE node is configured to communicate with the second PE node over a working path through a time-division multiplexing transport network. The first PE node exchanges, with the fourth PE node, protection information. Based on exchanging the protection information, the first PE node communicates with the fourth PE node via the third PE node. The fourth PE node is further configured to communicate with the third PE node over a protection path through the time-division multiplexing transport network.

Abstract: A method of obtaining a measure of asymmetry between optical fibers of a forward and reverse paths is provided in order to synchronize clocks of optical nodes connected by asymmetrical optical fiber paths. The method includes receiving, at first and second arrival times, from a first optical network device, a first optical signal transmitted on a first optical fiber and a second optical signal transmitted on a second optical fiber, calculating a first time difference between the second arrival time and the first arrival time. The method includes determining a measure of asymmetry between the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber based on the first time difference and a second time difference between a first time of transmission by the first optical network device of the first optical signal and a second time of transmission by the first optical network device of the second optical signal.
