Study on ASON route selection based on genetic algorithm

With the development of large scale multi-layer multi-domain optical network, it is becoming extremely difficult to calculate a strategy and constraint condition based path when multiple network failures present themselves all at once. Therefore, routing technology has become one of the core issues concerning the survivability of the optical network of the next generation. A genetic algorithm based on load-balancing was proposed in this paper and the optimal solution could therefore be derived with a higher probability. The simulation and related analysis verified the effectiveness of the algorithm.
