Comprehensive analysis of different optical interconnecting architectures

摘要

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed Optical networks using all-optical devices represent the promising solution for future high-capacity wide-area network applications. In this paper, numerous Optical Cross-connect Architectures are briefly concluded firstly, and then the analysis of WP and VWP mode, ILP formulations for physical topology and restoration strategies is presented to explain the relationship of various factors of different optical interconnecting architectures.
