Abstract:We propose a new routing and wavelength assignment scheme that improves the blocking probability of WDM networks and offers a very good utilizat ion of the networks resources. This heuristic results in high quality of service, prioritization of the LAN networks and lower installat ion costs compared with the traditional RWA algorith ms applied in WDM networks. It is based on the distributed Dijkstra sparse placement routing algorithm, first-fit wavelength reservation and traffic mu ltip lexing. We apply load b… Show more
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.
