Abstract :
We investigate the problem of grooming low-speed traffic streams into high-capacity lightpaths in a WDM-based optical mesh topology network. We study the node architecture for a WDM mesh network with traffic grooming capability. A mathematical formulation of the traffic grooming problem is presented and some results from mathematical formulation are also shown
