Abstract— As WDM technology matures and multicast applications become increasingly popular, supporting multicast at the WDM layer becomes an important and yet challenging topic. ...
To minimize the number of wavelengths required by a multicast session in sparse light splitting Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks, a light-hierarchy structure, which ...
Abstract--All-optical multicast routing (AOMR) is implemented by the concept of light-tree in WDM networks. The costoptimal multicast light-tree is NP-hard to compute, especially w...
Abstract--Based on the false assumption that multicast incapable (MI) nodes could not be traversed twice on the same wavelength, the light-tree structure was always thought to be o...
The construction of light-trees is one principal subproblem for multicast routing in sparse splitting Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks. Due to the light splitting co...
