Routing and Wavelength Assignment in Optical WDM Networks

George N. Rouskas

Abstract

Abstract This article discusses the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) problem in optical networks employing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology. Two variants of the problem are studied: static RWA, whereby the traffic requirements are known in advance, and dynamic RWA in which connection requests arrive in some random fashion. Both point‐to‐point and multicast traffic demands are considered.
