A Partial List of CORONET Papers

The DARPA-sponsored Core Optical Networks (CORONET) program addressed the development of architectures, protocols, and network control and management to support the future advanced requirements of both commercial and government networks, with a focus on highly dynamic and highly resilient multi-terabit core networks. CORONET encompassed a global network supporting a combination of IP and wavelength services. The program was initiated by Program Manager A.A.M. Saleh.
