Abstract

The recent explosion in the Internet applications, Internet. host number and the traffic in the IP backbone network is posing new challenges for transport network. This requires a high-speed IP backbone network that has a substantially higher bandwidth than the one offered by current networks, which prompts the development of all-optical network. To obtain optical network utilization gains, we need a software which establishs logical topology to make possible the efficient use or physical topology, and control the optical network in combination with the IP layer routing protocols. Finally, the logical topology is required higher efficient than physical topology. For this an efficient algorithm for the routing and wavelength assignment(RWA) in the WDM all-optical network is necessary. In this paper, two kinds of heuristic algorithms to establish logical topology for WDM networks and arc applied to the design of logical topology of domestic backbone network. These algorithms are found to work quite well and they arc compared with each other in terms of blocking rate, etc.

최근 인터넷 응용계층, 사용자수와 IP 백본망에서 트래픽의 폭발적인 증가는 전송망에 대해서 새로운 변화를 요구하고 있다. 이에 따라 대용량 WDM시스템들이 광범위하게 설치되고 있으며 이를 인터넷에 효율적으로 운영하기 위하여 IP/WDM을 구현하려는 노력이 진전되고 있다. WDM 전광망의 이용이득을 얻기 위해서는 IP 계층의 라우팅 프로토콜과 함께 전광망의 물리적인 망을 효율적으로 활용하게 해주는 논리적 토폴로지를 형성하고 광망을 제어하는 소프트웨어가 필요하다. 이를 위하여 WDM 전광망에서의 라우팅과 파장할당(RWA)을 효율적으로 수행할 수 있는 알고리듬이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 WDM 전광망의 논리적인 토폴로지 형성을 위한 두 개의 직관적인 알고리듬을 구현하여 국내 백본망에 적용하였으며, 이들이 잘 동작함을 보였고 이들을 블록킹율등의 측면에서 비교분석하였다.
