Abstract--This paper addresses multicast routing in circuitswitched multihop optical networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing. We consider a model in which multicast com...
In large networks, maintaining precise global network state information is almost impossible. Many factors, such as non-negligible propagation delay, infrequent state updates due ...
—Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a probabilistic technique used for solving complex computational problems, such as finding optimal routes in networks. It has been proved to pe...
Routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) aims to assign the limited number of wavelengths in a wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) optical network so as to achieve greater capacit...
Abstract-- In WDM all-optical networks where electrical regeneration is not available, physical impairments due to propagation in the fibers, amplifier noise, and leaks between cha...
