The rapid expansion of the use of internet in the last decade has been made feasible largely by optical networks with high bandwidth and consistency. This paper explores the meaning of grooming, the methodological context in which it can be applied. An innovative nomenclature incarcerates useful aspects of grooming problems and is used to review publications on traffic-engineering and optimization problem class. The paper proposed an efficient traffic grooming model for all optical networks. The model has low complexity and it can be easily implemented for traffic grooming problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
