Abstract :
We propose an agent-based traffic grooming and management mechanism for IP over wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks. The agent-based mechanism effectively manages the traffic aggregation across the optical core between the IP client networks. It offers the benefit of efficient resource usage and reduced connectivity complexity for IP over WDM optical networks. We have studied this mechanism and evaluated its performance over various traffic patterns.
