Abstract
In wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks, the bandwidth request of a traffic stream can be much lower than the capacity of a lightpath. Efficiently grooming low-speed connections onto high-capacity lightpaths will improve the network throughput and reduce the network cost. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a new concept of traffic aggregation in mesh networks that aims to eliminate both the bandwidth underutilization and scalability problems existing in all-optical wavelength routed networks. Our objective is to improve the network throughput while preserving the benefits of all-optical wavelength routed networks.
