Abstract
Polymorphic optical networks simultaneously support several optical switching paradigms over a single physical network. In this way, they provide service differentiation at the optical layer by employing the most appropriate paradigm for each service. One type of such architecture is the optical circuit-switched polymorphic network (OCSPN), which combines optical circuit switching paradigms with different grades of dynamism. The performance of this network relies on the utilization of efficient routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) algorithms. In this article, we review the fundamentals of OCSPNs and present a set of efficient RWA algorithms based on ant colony optimization and genetic algorithms.

Blocking probability evaluation of end-to-end dynamic WDM networks

TL;DR: Two mathematical methods for blocking probability evaluation of end-to-end dynamic WDM networks are proposed and the match between simulation and the proposed methods is excellent, and better than assuming link blocking independence, in all the topologies studied.
