Abstract

In this letter we extend the analysis of the Power Series Routing (PSR) algorithm, which was previously proposed and analyzed for transparent networks only, to the translucent and opaque networks. The PSR algorithm is a bio-inspired impairment-aware routing algorithm that can be optimized and can adapt itself to the network conditions. We demonstrate that the PSR algorithm is also suitable for these network configurations. We compared the PSR algorithm with other well known routing algorithms and we observed that the PSR algorithm achieved the best performance in all cases.
