A Novel Architecture Design for Traffic Engineering in Optical Network

Traffic engineering (TE) is an interesting application in IP-based networks. TE main objective is to optimize the performance of a network through an efficient utilization of network resources. We study a load balancing in optical networks based on measured link loads. As a result, WDM has become a technology of choice for meeting the tremendous bandwidth demand in the communications infrastructure. Optical networks employing WDM technology have been widely considered a promising network infrastructure for next-generation communications networks and optical Internet. We propose a novel and distributed server core optical network for load balance. The numerical simulation shows that the performance of new server core optical network is efficient.
