Abstract

This paper addresses the important area of inter-domain routing and lightpath provisioning in DWDM networks with opto-electronic conversion. Unlike previous work, the more challenging case of full wavelength conversion is considered which requires the handling of converter state. To address this challenge a novel full-mesh abstraction scheme is devised to summarize both wavelength and converter state. Performance analysis results are then presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanisms.
