Node architecture design and network engineering impact on optical multicasting based on physical layer constraints

Different node design architectures and node engineering approaches are considered for fully-transparent metropolitan area optical networks for the provisioning of multicast sessions. A number of multicast routing approaches are considered that take into account the physical layer constraints. The goal of this work is to minimize the overall blocking probability in the network, while ensuring that the provisioned multicast connections meet a prescribed bit error rate.
