Fault tolerant multiwavelength optical rings with limited wavelength conversion.

Fault tolerant multiwavelength optical rings with limited wavelength conversion.

This paper presents methods for recovering from channel failures, link failures, and node failures in wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) point-to-point links and ring networks with limited wavelength conversion/switching capabilities at the nodes. Different recovery schemes are presented to handl...
