Dynamic traffic is becoming important in WDM networks. In the transition towards full dynamic traffic, WDM networks optimized for a specific set of static connections will most likely also be used to support on-demand lightpath provisioning. Our paper investigates the issue of routing of dynamic connections in WDM networks which are also loaded with high-priority protected static connections. By discrete-event simulation we compare various routing strategies in terms of blocking probability and we propose a new heuristic algorithm based on an occupancy cost function which takes several possible causes of blocking into account. The behavior of this algorithm is tested in well-known case-study mesh networks, with and without wavelength conversion. Moreover, Poissonian and non-Poissonian dynamic traffics are considered.

Abstract

Dynamic traffic is becoming important in WDM networks. In the transition towards full dynamic traffic, WDM networks optimized for a specific set of static connections will most likely also be used to support on-demand lightpath provisioning. Our paper investigates the issue of routing of dynamic connections in WDM networks which are also loaded with high-priority protected static connections. By discrete-event simulation we compare various routing strategies in terms of blocking probability and we propose a new heuristic algorithm based on an occupancy cost function which takes several possible causes of blocking into account. The behavior of this algorithm is tested in well-known case-study mesh networks, with and without wavelength conversion. Moreover, Poissonian and non-Poissonian dynamic traffics are considered.
