Abstract:
We investigate static and dynamic routing approaches in overlay IP/GMPLS over optical networks. Dynamic operation for full-wavelength services benefits from physical-layer impairment aware routing whereas static routing with sub-wavelength granularity demands relaxes transparent reach requirements.
