Traditionally, research on routing and wavelength assignment over wavelength-routed WDM
networks is concerned with immediate reservation (IR) demands. An IR demand typically …

This paper investigates approaches for the traffic grooming problem that consider
connection holding-times and bandwidth availability. Moreover, solutions can indicate the …

In this paper, a new algorithm for dynamic traffic grooming is introduced. It considers the
holding-time of the connections and it aims at balancing the load among existing lightpaths …

Optical networks are expected to provide a unified platform for a diverse set of emerging
applications (three-dimensional TV, digital cinema, e-health, grid computing, etc). The …

Optical network is playing a vital role to fulfill the demand of bandwidth hungry applications.
Optical circuit switching (OCS), Optical packet switching (OPS), and optical burst switching …

This paper introduces a scheme that employs holding time aware traffic grooming and
multipath routing in WDM networks. High capacity requests require large amounts of …
