Routing and Wavelength Assignment problem in Optical Networks (original) (raw)

Wavelength assignment and routing has become the important issue in the optical networks. Using the efficient techniques the various network parameters can be optimized and the networks bandwidth can be utilized more efficiently. Most research in the literature was on the static routing and very few works was done on the dynamic routing. With Dynamic routing the network bandwidth can be used effectively and the best route for the data transmission can be calculated online. In this paper existing wavelength assignment and routing technique has been reviewed and analyzed. This literature work has been extended so the network routing strategy can be made better, which results in the efficient utilization of network resources.
