Hybrid Multicast Traffic Grooming in Transparent Optical Networks with Physical Layer Impairments

This paper investigates the problem of multicast traffic grooming in transparent optical networks utilizing a novel grooming approach that is based on routing/grooming of multicast calls on hybrid graphs. The proposed approach exhibits improved performance when compared to existing grooming schemes especially when the physical layer impairments are taken into account.
