摘要：Optical networks using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology modulate multiple channels over a single fiber. The most common architecture utilized for establishing communication in WDM optical networks is wavelength routing, where the communication between a source and a destination node is performed by setting up optical channels between them, called light-paths from the network perspective. In optical WDM networks, transmission of information along optical lines is advantageous since it has high transmission capacity, scalability, feasibility and also high reliability. But since large amount of information is being carried, any problem during transmission can lead to severe damage to the data being carried. In this paper, we propose to develop a routing and wavelength utilization algorithm which considers two constraints for selecting the best path. The two constraints are based on the available free load and the number of wavelength used in the link. Based on these constraints, two cost functions on load and wavelength are determined, which yields a combined cost function. For each pair of source and destination, the path with the minimum combined cost function is selected as the primary path for data transmission, allocating the sufficient wavelength. This study paper proposes a RWU algorithm for the problem of establishing the set of efficient light paths for a given set of connection requests. The effectiveness of the proposed RWU algorithm is demonstrated by simulation. This study divides the routing and wavelength allocation process in two step problem with a goal of minimizing Number of wavelength channel and number of wavelength conversion required. This algorithm thus provides a reliable path for the data transmission.
