Abstract

As WDM technology mature and popular, it has merged as a potential candidate for future networks with high-capacity bandwidth providing efficient multicast in WDM networks. Multicast is the ability to transmit information from a single source node to multiple destinations, its applications includes video-conference, e-commerce, video-on-demand, distributed databases, distribution software and World Wide Web browsing. In this paper, we propose a multicast routing algorithm called "multicast-FCR". The Multicast-FCR algorithm can optimal routing path and minimal wavelength conversion more efficiency than multicast-random.
