efficiently designing lightpaths and routing traffic on them in hybrid electro-optic data …

SONET/WDM rings are widely deployed in today's networks. To reduce the total cost of such
a network, an efficient way is using the traffic grooming technique to minimize the number of …

We consider the problem of grooming in all-optical networks to maximize traffic. We present
an integer-programming formulation while constraining the number of optical transceivers at …
