Abstract

In this paper, we develop a biologically-inspired wavelength allocation method that allocates wavelengths to path/packet integrated networks. Our method is based on a biological symbiosis model that explains co-existing and co-working of two types of bacterial strains in biological systems. The results show that the biologically-inspired wavelength allocation method achieves a nearly 40% reduction of the latency from a threshold-based dynamic wavelength allocation method.
