Routing in all-optical DWDM networks with sparse wavelength conversion capabilities

چکیده
This work focuses on the Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) problem in all-optical DWDM networks with Sparse Wavelength Conversion (SWC) capabilities. By sparse wavelength conversion, we mean that nodes within the optical network domain might or might not support optical wavelength conversion. For these nodes that support optical wavelength conversion, the number of wavelength converters might be limited. As such, optical lightpaths might or might not be able to find the wavelength conversion resources that might be needed for it to be established. In this work, we present the RWA problem in all-optical WDWM networks with sparse wavelength conversion capabilities (RWA-SWC). We also provide Integer Linear Programming (ILP) formulation for Static Lightpath Establishment (SLE) in all-optical networks with sparse wavelength conversion capabilities. Finally, we propose a new opaque extension to the OSPF routing protocol to advertise wavelength usage and converter availability throughout the optical network domain.

متن کاملA Novel Protection Guaranteed, Quality of Transmission Aware Routing and Wavelength Assignment Algorithm for All-optical Networks
Transparent All Optical Networks carry huge traffic and any link failure can cause the loss of gigabits of data; hence protection and its guarantee becomes necessary at the time of failure. Many protection schemes were presented in the literature, but none of them speaks about protection guarantee. Also, in all optical networks, due to absence of regeneration capabilities, the physical layer i...
