Abstract :
A network design method employing a two-stage multiplexing scheme which exploits the merits of wavelength granularity is presented for wavelength division multiplexing mesh networks. The effects of wavelength granularity and average demand on the crossconnect requirements and wavelength requirements are discussed.
