We address the problem of efficient circuit switching in wide area networks. The solution provided is based on finding optimal routes for lightpaths and semilightpaths. A lightpat...
—Most research works in routing and design of optical networks assume that the optical medium can carry signals without any bit error. However, the physical impairments on the op...
Consider a requirement graph whose vertices represent customers and an edge represents the need to route a unit of flow between its end vertices along a single path. All of these ...
We consider the problem of constructing logical topologies over a wavelength-routed optical network with no wavelength changers. We present a general linear formulation which consi...
— Although many multicast routing algorithms have been proposed in order to reduce the total cost in WDM optical networks, the link stress and delay are two parameters which are ...
