Abstract

Physical layer impairment aware routing algorithms have been proposed for optical transparent networks in order to calculate the feasibility of dynamically establishing an optical path when no regeneration is used. The benefit of node clustering in optical networks, regarding routing with physical layer impairment awareness, is investigated under the CANON network architecture where regenerators are conveniently placed and routing is confined among a small subset of nodes. The CANON architecture exhibits enhanced blocking performance, high resource utilisation and adequate physical performance; hence, it can serve Quality of Service.
