            Abstract : 
In this paper, we propose a novel routing algorithm, Rank Total wavelengths and Available wavelengths (RTAW), which dramatically reduces the flooding frequency while guarantees a low blocking rate. Compared with other algorithms, simulations are conducted to prove the benefits of this algorithm.
