Abstract— As WDM technology matures and multicast applications become increasingly popular, supporting multicast at the WDM layer becomes an important and yet challenging topic. ...
In optical networks, the traditional routing problem is generally decoupled into two subproblems, the route selection and the wavelength assignment. Usual RWA (Routing and Wavelen...
—In this paper, we consider the problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in all-optical networks, where signals propagate in the optical domain (with no electrical rege...
: A new proposal for an optical packet-routed network based on a distributed router architecture in a WDM network is described. Buffering, scheduling and wavelength assignment func...
We consider all-optical networks with shortest-path routing that use wavelength-division multiplexing and employ wavelength conversion at specific nodes in order to maximize their...
