MPLS over Optical Packet Switching

This paper deals with the problem of connection to wavelength assignment in an MPLS optical packet switched network with DWDM links. The need to adopt dynamic allocation of connections to wavelengths is outlined to avoid congestion and dynamic wavelength assignment algorithms are proposed. The main results show the effectiveness of dynamic assignment with respect to static one and show that the connection configuration can be exploited for performance enhancement
