Dynamic photonic networks rely on colorless, non-directional Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) nodes to enable rapid re-routing of wavelength channels without optoelectronic conversion. We report numerical simulations of the wavelength contention that can occur in such multi-degree ROADM nodes. Intra-node blocking rates and transponder utilization are computed for node designs with...
We show that blocking in dynamic networks of colorless, non-directional ROADMs is tolerant to intra-node contention when contention-aware routing/wavelength assignment (RWA) algorithms are used. An optional client-side cross-connect enables low blocking with simpler RWA variants.
In this paper, we address the problem of survivable traffic grooming in optical WDM networks in which lightpaths are hop constrained. Survivability is provisioned at the wavelength granularity through either dedicated or shared path protection schemes. We propose an auxiliary-graph-based algorithm that addresses grooming, protection, and impairment constraints in a combined manner and that determines...
We present a heuristic algorithm to address the demand aggregation problem in DWDM optical networks employing shared ring protection. The algorithm decides the route and wavelength of each demand with the aim of minimizing the total number of optical line cards as well as reducing the total number of DWDM rings.
Using numerical simulation of a dynamic network, we quantify the intra-node blocking occurring in colorless, non-directional Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs). Designs including a client-side fiber cross connect are shown to offer lower blocking probability.
We present a k-shortest path algorithm for overlay demand routing in optical networks. The proposed algorithm can find paths in trap topologies and show higher demand routing success rate compared to shortest path algorithm-based approaches.
Advance reservation is a mechanism to guarantee the availability of resources when they are needed. In the context of LambdaGrid, this mechanism is used to provide data-intensive applications with the needed deterministic network quality of service to transport data between grid instruments, high-performance storage systems, compute clusters and visualization systems. Flexible scheduling affords users...
