Selective Protection for All-Optical Physical Impairment Constrained Routing
PublicationW przypadku sieci optycznych, zauważalna jest obecnie tendencja dążenia do transmisji całowicie optycznej (tz. bez konwersji O/E/O w węzłach tranzytowych). Jednakże w niedalekiej przyszłości, z uwagi na techniczne ograniczenia, niemożliwa będzie obsługa całości ruchu wyłącznie w dziedzinie optycznej. Operatorzy będą więc zainteresowani oferowaniem rozwiązań przejściowych implikujących przełączanie w dziedzinie optycznej jedynie...

Methods for physical impairment constrained routing with selected protection in all-optical networks
PublicationIn this paper, we investigate the problem of survivable all-optical routing in WDM networks with physical impairments. One of the recent key issues in survivable optical network design refers to maximization of the ratio of routeable demands while keeping the overall network cost low. In WDM networks, this goal can be achieved by routing as many demands in all-optical way as possible. Based on the latest technical trends driven...
