Abstract Summary & Highlights:

  • Addresses the challenge of designing light-tree structures (point-to-multipoint branching) in optical networks while also placing edge computing nodes to serve users with different latency requirements.
  • Proposes optimization models that minimize cost while ensuring latency bounds are met for diverse service classes.
  • The results provide guidelines for network architects considering next-generation metro/edge architectures, especially in networks supporting multi-service, latency-sensitive applications.
