Multihop Routing and Wavelength Assignment Algorithm for Optical WDM Networks

چکیده
We propose a new routing and wavelength assignment scheme that improves the blocking probability of WDM networks and offers a very good utilizat ion of the networks resources. This heuristic results in high quality of service, prioritization of the LAN networks and lower installat ion costs compared with the traditional RWA algorithms applied in WDM networks. It is based on the distributed Dijkstra sparse placement routing algorithm, first-fit wavelength reservation and traffic multip lexing. We apply load balancing and a sparse electronic switch placement algorithm during the process of finding the optimal lightpath in order to reduce the number of dropped lightpath sessions to zero, min imize the number of opaque nodes and maximize the utilization of the network.

A 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...
