Title :
Assignment of multicast switches in optical networks
Abstract :
This paper addresses the optimal placement of multicast nodes in all-optical networks. An approximate analytical model for the blocking probability in multicast networks is developed. The blocking model is used to guide two heuristics for the placement problem. The two heuristics are: (1) the famous warehouse allocation heuristic (ADD) and (2) simulated annealing
