Design of Logical Topologies for Wavelength Routed Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
A virtual topology over a wavelength routed WAN consists of clear optical channels between nodes called lightpaths. These carry traffic end-to-end without electronic switching, creating an optical layer of the topology. Virtual topology design aims at combining the best of optical switching and electronic routing abilities. Designing a virtual topology on a physical network consists of deciding the lightpaths to be set up in terms of their source and destination nodes and wavelength assignment. In this chapter we provide a complete formulation of the problem and survey the literature on the topic. We restrict ourselves to transport networks rather than local area networks, and static topology design as opposed to topologies in which individual lightpaths are set up and torn down in response to traffic demands.

Design of fault-tolerant logical topologies in wavelength-routed optical IP networks
In this paper we illustrate a new methodology for the design of fault-tolerant logical topologies in wavelength-routed optical networks exploiting wavelength division multiplexing, and supporting both unicast and multicast IP datagram flows. Our approach to protection and restoration generalizes the “design protection” concepts, and relies on the dynamic capabilities of IP routing to re-route I...
متن کاملOptimal design of logical topologies in wavelength-routed optical networks with multicast traffic
In this paper we discuss the optimal design of logical topologies in wavelength-routed WDM networks supporting unicast and multicast transfer of IP datagrams. We first explain the key aspects of the problem, emphasizing the fact that in IP networks the routing algorithms are an input to the optimization problem, not an optimization target. We then provide a mixed integer linear programming form...
متن کاملOptimum Regular Logical Topology for Wavelength Routed WDM Networks
Several regular topologies have been proposed to be used as the logical topology for WDM networks. These topologies are usually evaluated and compared based on the metrics related to network performance. It can be simply shown that this is generally not sufficient since better network performance can be achieved by increasing more network facilities. However, doing this eventually increases the...
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...

In this paper we present a new methodology for the design of fault-tolerant logical topologies in wavelengthrouted optical networks supporting IP datagram flows. Our design approach generalizes the “design protection” concepts, and relies on the dynamic capabilities of IP to reroute datagrams when faults occur, thus achieving protection and restoration, and leading to high-performance costeffec...
