Cluster-based centralized control for WDM mesh networks

Efficient connection establishment is critical for traffic provisioning in WDM networks. In this paper, we consider the speeding up mechanisms under centralized control for static traffic in wavelength-routed networks. By assuming the clustered computer is implemented for centralized operators, the task of resource allocation on wavelengths and routes is executed by partitioning the resource to such master-slave platform. Two RWA scenarios are proposed and their performance are examined by conducting experiment simulations.
