Distributed discovery of wavelength paths in multiservice WDM networks

This work proposes a distributed method for wavelength channel provisioning in multi-service WDM networks, where subject to constraints on wavelength routing such as transmission quality or resource availability, the best of the multiple feasible paths can be found. The numerical examples and simulation study of multi-service wavelength-routed networks under dynamic traffic conditions have shown the applicability of our methods for the optical network services yet to emerge.
