Abstract

In this paper we examine the problem of multicast routing in Wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) optical networks. In particular, we examine wavelength and routing assignment problems in circuit-switched WDM networks. We show that although the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) problem is NP-complete in general, the wavelength assignment (WA) problem can be solevd in a polynomial time.
