Multiple-star wavelength-router network and its protection strategy.

Multiple-star wavelength-router network and its protection strategy.

A wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) multiple-star network and its accompanying path and router protection strategies are proposed for interconnecting N major switch nodes in a national-scale telecommunications network. For a single path failure and uniform traffic matrix, fiber requirements are...
