Abstract
|
This paper investigates the network performance for dynamic traffic conditions, i. e. randomly arriving wavelength channel requests and releases. To handle dynamic traffic, a routing process is required to decide which path is selected for each arriving request. This paper discusses several parameters which influence the routing performance. Examples are the network topology and resource allocation mechanisms for the routing process. Several routing strategies are developed and compared. A new strategy considering multiple biased alternatives, dynamic path search, and an adaptive length limit which achieves good performance over a wide load range is presented. Finally, the influence of some traffic parameters on the routing performance is investigated in detail.
