All-Optical Multicasting on Wavelength-Routed WDM Networks with Partial Replica
نویسندگان
چکیده
An All-Optical Multicast Heuristic (AOMH) method is proposed to perform all-optical multicasting on WDM networks, AOMH first divides the members of a multicast group into MCG (multicast-capable group) and MIG (multicast-incapable group). If MCG is empty or the fanout constraints are not satisfied, AOMH will add some Proxy MC (PMC) nodes in MCG to satisfy the constraints. Then the multicast tree is determined in three steps. First, AOMH constructs a multicast tree for MCG. Second, AOMH partitions MIG into several sub-MIGs according to the distances to the members of MCG. Finally, AOMH generates the multicast sub-trees rooted at the members of MCG with the destinations of their own sub-MIGs. AOMH has good performance if the number of MC nodes is larger than 20% of the number of nodes in a network. Furthermore, if a node has a higher degree, multicast capable devices will be required to improve the network performance.

Optical technology gains extensive attention and ever increasing improvement because of the huge amount of network traffic caused by the growing number of internet users and their rising demands. However, with wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), it is easier to take the advantage of optical networks and optical burst switching (OBS) and to construct WDM networks with low delay rates and bet...
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 ...

Research on multicasting in single-hop wavelengthdivision-multiplexing (WDM) networks has so far focused on networks based on the passive star coupler (PSC), a broadcast device. It has been shown that the multicasting performance is improved by partitioning multicast transmissions into multiple multicast copies. However, the channel bottleneck of the PSC, which does not allow for spatial wavele...

Routing in wavelength-routed all-optical WDM networks has received much attention in the past decade for which fixed and dynamic routing methods have been proposed. Taking into account the observation that wavelength-routed all-optical WDM networks are similar to circuit-switched voice networks, except with regard to wavelength conversion, we propose an adaptive alternate routing (AAR) scheme f...
