MULTI-WAVELENGTH-MINIMUM INTERFERENCE PATH ROUTING ALGORITHM FOR ESTABLISHING OPTIMAL OPTICAL-LSPS IN OVPN

초록

A virtual private network (VPN) over Internet" has the benefit of being cost-effective and flexible. Given the increasing demand for high bandwidth Internet and the demand for QoS assurances in a "VPN over Internet", IP/generalized multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS) based on a control plane combined with a high-bandwidth, dense-wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical network is seen as a very favorable approach for realizing the future "optical VPN (OVPN) over IP/GMPLS over DWDM". In this paper, we suggest a new routing algorithm for establishing optimal optical-label switched paths (O-LSPs) in OVPN, called the Multi-Wavelength-Minimum Interference Path Routing (MW-MIPR), to provide more improved performance for connection blocking probability with consideration for potential future network's congestion status. The proposed algorithm improves wavelength utilization by choosing route that does not interfere too much with many potential future connection requests. Simulation results show that proposed MW-MIPR algorithm achieves more enhanced blocking probability than dynamic routing (DR) that yields the best performance among previous routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) algorithms"
