Virtual topology reconfiguration of wavelength-routed optical WDM networks

چکیده
The bandwidth requirements of the Internet are increasing every day and there are newer and more bandwidththirsty applications emerging on the horizon. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is the next step towards leveraging the capabilities of the optical fiber, especially for wide-area backbone networks. The ability to switch a signal at intermediate nodes in a WDM network based on their wavelengths is known as wavelength-routing. One of the greatest advantages of using wavelength-routing WDM is the ability to create a virtual topology different from the physical topology of the underlying network. This virtual topology can be reconfigured when necessary, to improve performance. We discuss the previous work done on virtual topology design and also discuss and propose different reconfiguration algorithms applicable under different scenarios.

Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) has emerged as a promising technology for use in backbone transport networks. In an IP/WDM network, the optical layer provides circuit-switched lightpath services to the client Internet protocol (IP) layer. The set of all the lightpaths in the optical layer defines the virtual topology. Since the optical switches (cross-connects) are reconfigurable, the vi...
