“…The presented analytical model [17] was used to obtain the network BP, which was used as an evaluation function (objective function) in the process of searching for the MCSP solution. Then, all four routing solutions obtained with the DJK, BSR, BSR-DS and ACO-BSR strategies were simulated using the TONetS (Transparent Optical Network Simulator), a simuation tool developed to study RWA algorithms, survivability techniques and wavelength converter placement in all-optical networks [3,5,7,18]. The traffic load was uniformly distributed among all of the pairs (o, d), and the requests were generated following a Poisson process with mean λ and an exponentially distributed time retention with mean 1/µ.…”
