Abstract

In this work, we consider assessing wavelength availability using partial management information for dynamically setting up a light-path across administrative domains. We cast the light-path assessment as a decision problem, define and analyze the performance as the probability of an erroneous decision. We show that the performance is related to the blocking probability, and a good performance may be achieved using local and aggregated information.
