Lightpath routing for intelligent optical networks.

Lightpath routing for intelligent optical networks.

An overview of current issues and challenges in lightpath routing for optical networks is given. An architecture is presented in which optical switches are deployed, usually in the core, to interconnect IP routers at the edges. Lightpath routing within this architecture follows the framework of gene...
