Adaptive routing and wavelength assignment algorithm for WDM networks with uniform and non-uniform traffic model

This letter studies routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) problem in wavelength-routed wavelength-division multiplexing networks with both uniform and nonuniform traffic model. Our research shows that the potential traffic load information is a crucial factor for routing algorithm design. Based on our analysis, an adaptive RWA algorithm is proposed. The simulation shows that the proposed algorithm performs much better than other adaptive RWA algorithms.
