Abstract
Virtual Private Network (VPN) services over the Internet are gaining increased acceptance due to the economic benefits and flexibility. However, with difficulties of providing sufficient transmission capacity for value-added and mission-critical services, the Optical VPN (OVPN) deploying Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology has been seen as a favorable approach for realizing the future VPN services. In an OVPN, the Routing and Wavelength Assignment problem plays a key role for capacity utilization and therefore the Multicast Routing and Wavelength Assignment problem has been the dominant issue in a DWDM-based OVPN. In this paper, using Virtual Source (VS) nodes that have splitting and wavelength conversion capabilities, we propose a new Multicast Routing and Wavelength Assignment method for multicast sessions. The algorithm combines the VS-based tree generation approach with Multi-Wavelength Minimum Interference Path Routing (MW-MIPR) that chooses a path that does not interfere too much with potential future multicast session requests.
