All-Optical Network with Simultaneous in-node Routing and Wavelength Assignment

Abstract

The paper describes a modified topology of an all-optical network with simultaneous in-node routing and wavelength assignment. The routing process is controlled by the Hopfield neural network. Intensive simulations demonstrate the stability and scalability of proposed algorithm and its capability for dynamic routing.
