Behavior of Distributed Wavelength Provisioning in Wavelength-Routed Networks with Partial Wavelength Conversion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distributed wavelength provisioning is becoming one of the most important technologies for supporting the nextgeneration wavelength-routed networks. In this paper we analyze the behavior of wavelength-routed networks with partial wavelength conversion capabilities (i.e., where wavelength conversion is available at only a subset of network nodes) when using distributed wavelength provisioning. Simulation results show that the proposed models are highly accurate for different network topologies under various traffic loads.

A Distributed Signaling Scheme for Provisioning Dynamic Traffic in Wavelength-Routed Networks
Provisioning dynamic traffic is a major challenge in wavelength-routed networks. While the routes of connections are mainly determined by using global state information, different connections that share the same link may still compete for the same resources. These conflicts can cause significant blocking, a problem that becomes more serious as traffic becomes more dynamic and as the state infor...
متن کاملSparse-Partial Wavelength Conversion in Wavelength-Routed All-Optical Networks
Wavelength conversion has been shown as one of the key techniques that can improve the blocking performance in a wavelength-routed all-optical network. Given that wavelength converters nowadays are still very expensive, how to make effective use of the limited number of wavelength converters becomes an important issue. In this paper, we propose a novel sparse-partial wavelength conversion (SPWC...
متن کاملIntermediate-node initiated reservation (IIR): a new signaling scheme for wavelength-routed networks
A problem of many distributed lightpath provisioning schemes is wavelength contention, which occurs when a connection request attempts to reserve a wavelength channel that is no longer available. This situation results from the lack of updated global link-state information at every node. In networks with highly dynamic traffic loads, wavelength contention may seriously degrade the network perfo...
متن کاملUtilization of Optical Fibre WDM Channel in Wavelength Routed Networks using Sparse Partial Limited Wavelength Conversion
In the previous 20 years, wavelength conversion has received a considerable attention due to its strong influence on the blocking performance of wavelength-routed WDM networks. In a wavelength-routed WDM network, end users communicate with one another via all-optical WDM channels. In all-optical WDM channels optical fibre is used. Optical fibre is a single, hair-fine filament drawn from molten ...
متن کاملDistributed inter-domain lightpath provisioning in the presence of wavelength conversion
Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) has become the dominant transport layer technology for next-generation backbone networks due to its unprecedented capacity scalability. As a result, there is a pressing need to investigate lightpath provisioning in multidomain DWDM networks. Although inter-domain provisioning has been well-studied for packet/cell-switching networks, the wavelength d...
