In the multi-service requirement of the next generation of optical networks,differentiated services should be provided,and the transmission quality of signal and the path reliability are two important parameters of service class differentiation.A new dynamic routing and wavelength assignment(RWA) algorithm supporting service-differentiated provision,which takes account of both requirements of the signal transmission quality and the path reliability,is proposed.The numerical results from simulation show that the algorithm can not only overcome the impact of impairment on signal transmission quality and guarantee lightpath reliability,but also offer the service-differentiated lightpath according to its class.
An optical burst switching （OBS） network platform is established with a ring topology of three nodes. A congestion Mleviated scheme using advanced token protocol and wavelength tunable receivers is demon- strated to optimize the network platform. Experimental results testify that this scheme can resist collision at the level of 0.1% congestion rate.
This article studies multi-constraints least-cost multicast routing problem in internet protocol over dense wavelength division multiplexing （IP/DWDM） networks. To address this problem, an individual-difference-based quantum genetic algorithm （IDQGA） is proposed. This algorithm considers individual differences among chromosomes by introducing an adaptive rotation angle step determination scheme and a grouping-based quantum mutation operation. Simulations are conducted over network topologies. The results indicate that compared with other heuristic algorithms, IDQGA has better optimal performance on solving quality of service （QoS） multicast routing problem in IP/DWDM networks and is characterized by strong robustness, high success ratio and excellent capability on global searching.
