نویسنده
چکیده
This contribution gives a short introduction in optical WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) networks with special focus on wide-area transport networks and on a possible evolution scenario towards all-optical networks. Furthermore, design and planning aspects for a WDM network are discussed. This comprises a short overview on a planning process in general and a presentation of some specific facets of photonic networks such as the subject of wavelength conversion or survivability requirements. Finally, some aspects concerning the operation of WDM networks will be discussed.

The Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) problem is known to be NP-hard for general Physical Topology (PT) in optical networks. We have analyzed the survivability of the optical network under Survivable Routing and Shared Path Protection (SPP) for various topologies and suggested two survivable RWA algorithms which are shown to perform better under certain performance matrix by simulation.

This paper discusses survivable routing for Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks. The downside of boosting network capacity through a technology like WDM is increasing network vulnerability. With more than one network operator in South Africa network survivability will be one of the most important and challenging quality of service (QoS) criteria. This paper investigates new network ...
متن کاملPreserving Survivability During Logical Topology Reconfiguration in WDM Ring Networks
We consider the design of reconfiguring logical topologies over physical WDM ring networks. The logical topology consists of the same set of nodes as the physical topology, and the links of the logical topology are lightpaths established (or embedded) over the physical topology. The logical topology is said survivable if the failure of any single physical link does not disconnect the logical to...
