Design Efficient Routing Protocols For WDM Optical Networks

光网络技术在下一代网络中起着关键作用。特别是，波分复用（WDM）光网络在提供巨大的可用带宽和连接性方面已经成为下一代网络的一个有希望的候选者。

The optical network technique plays a key role to the next-generation networks. In particular, wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) optical networks have emerged as a promising candidate for next-generation networks in providing huge available bandwidth and connectivity. Routing and wavelength assignment problem is one of the fundamental problems in WDM optical networks. In this project we primarily focus on devising and analyzing efficient routing algorithms for all-to-all routing and robust routing in the WDM networks. Incorporated with various known techniques, practical algorithms will be developed. The algorithms and techniques developed in this project will be through simulation, testing, and implementation.
