A Better ACA for Routing and Wavelength Assignment in ASON with Supporting Different SLA of Services and 10Pbps Network Capacity

Abstract

Dynamic RWA algorithm which supports differentiating business service quality levels becomes a hot research in optical networks. This paper proposes a better ant colony algorithm for routing and wavelength assignment in ASON with supporting differentiating SLA of services and 10P bps network capacity. Firstly, the algorithm adds the concept of business interval period M to dynamically adjust the wavelength grouped in different periods So as to better meet the sercice requests of different levels; Secondly the algorithm adds a link selection control factor in the transition probability function ACA in order to achieve a better link load balancing. Simulation results show that after joining the cyclical and link selection control factor, blocking rate becomes lower and the load of network becomes more evenly.
