Abstract: Basic PRoblems that should be solved for routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in optical networks are presented. After that, an overview of research achievements in recent years is presented, including virtual topology reconfiguration, RWA in traffic grooming, RWA in multicasting, and RWA in survivable networks. For network survivability, it includes survivable routing in WDM networks, differentiated reliability, fast recovery in mesh networks, and multi-link failures.
除了采用SDH设备如ADM、DXC来提供细粒度带宽外,也可以不用SDH,而采用多协议标记交换(MPLS)路由器,即采用分组(包)复用将多个低速的业务流合起来在一个波长上传输。。近年来,提出了通用多协议标记交换(GMPLS)协议。GMPLS可将MPLS扩展到光层(也可用于SDH)。采用GMPLS后,可以实现ip over WDM的对等模型,即采用统一的控制面。这样,可以用MPLS路由器和OADM或OXC来构成智能光网络,利用标记交换路径(LSP)提供细粒度带宽的通路。这里遇到了业务量疏导问题。
