Experimental Study of Large-scaled Virtual Network Topology Control Method Based on Attractor Selection

摘要

One approach for accommodating large amount of traffic and achieving adaptive control of the network is to construct a Virtual Network Topology (VNT) on Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) network and reconstruct VNTs according to network environment changes. We propose the VNT control method based on attractor selection. In this paper, we verify the feasibility of our method through experiment with seven-router network. The results of the experiments show that our method recovers the network condition after deterioration caused by environmental changes.
