文摘Provisioning of the WDM optical networks has been a challenge problem because it involves both the physical topology and the logical topology. In addition, the stochastic effects of the traffic mix must be properly characterized. This paper proposes a generic light-path provisioning model and suggests a solution procedure based on a recent mathematical achievement. A case study is also reported.
