In optical transport networks algorithms dealing with the lightpath selection process select routes and assign wavelengths based on the routing information obtained from the networ...
In this paper, we address the issue of traffic grooming in arbitrary WDM mesh networks. We present a novel groomer architecture wherein a combination of grooming at two different ...
Multigranular optical WDM network aims to reduce network cost by grouping multiple wavelengths and then switching those wavelengths together at waveband or fiber levels. To configu...

SONET add-drop multiplexers (ADMs) are the dominant cost factor in SONET /WDM rings. The number of SONET ADMs required by a set of traffic streams is determined by the routing and...
