Preserving global optical QoS in FWM impaired dynamic networks

Optical quality of service (QoS) provisioning under the intricacy of four wave mixing (FWM) lightpaths interaction is tackled through connection admission control-routing and wavelength assignment (CAC-RWA) integration. Blocking probability and service level agreement compliance are assessed for approaches with different levels of FWM awareness in diverse network scenarios. A compromise solution is proposed to balance CAC complexity and level of QoS provided.
