Abstract: An enhanced hybrid scheme of wavelength reservation for dynamic wavelength routed optical networks is proposed. The performance of a newly introduced composite-two-phase reservation protocol (C2P-RP) is evaluated and compared with the existing hybrid reservation protocol. By offering connection requests an enhanced scope of finding an end-to-end available wavelength, the C2P-RP scheme shows improved connection-request blocking performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
