Traffic engineering in multigranularity heterogeneous optical WDM mesh networks through dynamic traffic grooming.

Traffic engineering in multigranularity heterogeneous optical WDM mesh networks through dynamic traffic grooming.

In this article we investigate the problem of efficiently provisioning connections of different bandwidth granularities in a heterogeneous WDM mesh network through dynamic traffic grooming schemes under traffic engineering principles. Due to the huge amount of traffic a WDM backbone network can supp...
