Abstract :
WDM optical transport networks (WDM-OTN) will use new all-optical nodes that will perform functions in the optical domain, using wavelength as a new network resource. This paper presents a new approach for the optical cross-connect (OXC) routing operation that takes into account a diminished connection capability
