Policy-driven automated reconfiguration for performance management in WDM optical networks.

Policy-driven automated reconfiguration for performance management in WDM optical networks.

A key feature of optical networks based on WDM technology is the ability to optimize the configuration of optimal resources (i.e., wavelengths) with respect to a particular traffic demand. In the broadcast architecture, this involves the assignment of wavelengths to logical links, while in the optic...
