Design of Wavelength-Routed Optical Network Topologies to Minimise Lightpath Blocking Probabilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigated the influence of network topology on light-path blocking probability in wavelength-routed optical networks (WRONs) carrying non-uniform traffic loads. Through extensive simulations of a number of similar networks, it is shown that even small differences in the topology can result in large variations in the blocking probability. The results of the simulations are used to assess the features of WRON topologies which exhibit low blocking probabilities with widely varying traffic demands.

Fault-tolerant design of wavelength-routed optical networks
This paper considers optical networks which employ wavelength-routing switches that enable the establishment of wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) channels, called lightpaths, between node-pairs. In such networks, the failure of a single link may cause the failure of several optical channels. Given a set of lightpaths, that may comprise of a virtual topology, and xed alternate routing tables...

متن کاملFixed-Alternate Routing and Wavelength Conversion in Wavelength-Routed Optical Networks
-Consider an optical network which employs wavelength-routing crossconnects that enable the establishment of wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) connections between node pairs. In such a network, when there is no wavelength conversion, a connection is constrained to be on the same wavelength channel along its route. Alternate routing can improve the blocking performance of such a network by p...
متن کاملAn Algorithm to Design Logical Topologies in Wavelength-Routed Optical Networks
We propose an algorithm to design logical topologies in optical networks. It attempts to minimise the congestion in the network by establishing lightpaths in a manner that a maximum amount of traffic can be routed in at most two hops. A branch-exchange process is then performed to improve the results. Due to the computational hardness of this process, we also propose another method that conside...
متن کاملConstraint Satisfaction in Optical Routing for Passive Wavelength-Routed Networks
Awavelength-routed, optical network employs all-optical channels (lightpaths) on multiple wavelengths to establish a rearrangeable interconnection pattern (virtual topology) for transport of data. A lightpath may span multiple ber-links, and may be routed optically at an intermediate node without undergoing electronic conversion. We examine the problem of establishing a set of lightpaths in an ...
