Abstract :
Here we propose a new strategy for wavelength conversion in WDM networks, and a new algorithm that allows the strategy to be adopted, which aim the same performance of virtual wavelength path (VWP) to be reached, but with a strongly reduced number of wavelength converters. This means a significant saving in cost and complexity of the optical cross connects (OXC)
