Dynamic Routing in Translucent WDM Optical Networks
Overview Translucent WDM optical networks use sparse placement of regenerators to overcome the impairments and wavelength contention introduced by fully transparent networks, and achieve a performance close to fully opaque networks with much less cost. This paper addressed the placement of regenerators based on static schemes allowing only fixed number of regenerators at fixed locations. The paper further studies by proposing a suite of dynamical routing schemes. Dynamic allocation, advertisement and discovery of regeneration resources are proposed to support sharing transmitters and receivers between regeneration and access functions. This study follows the current trend in optical networking industry by utilizing extension of IP control protocols.
