  • Abstract
    We use novel ldquolight-tree balancing techniquesrdquo to investigate the problem of provisioning multicast sessions in metropolitan all-optical networks. The Q-factor for every path of a derived light-tree is calculated taking into account several physical layer constraints in the network and using a Q-budgeting approach. Based on the above performance, tree balancing techniques are applied to maximize the number of multicast connections that can be admitted to the network.
