Hybrid Lightpath Rerouting in Wavelength-Routed WDM Networks

摘要：

Lightpath rerouting has been actively studied in optical WDM networks recently. In this paper, we investigate a hybrid rerouting scheme which combines passive rerouting and intentional rerouting. Through extensive simulation studies, we draw the following conclusions: 1) when wavelength conversion is available, hybrid rerouting can only slightly improve the performance over passive rerouting; 2) when there is no wavelength conversion, the hybrid rerouting scheme can improve the blocking performance significantly.
