Abstract :
Dynamic wavelength allocation (DWA) in multicast (MC) switching has been investigated in this paper. The aim for this investigation is to maximize the network capacity and minimize the blocking probability in the wavelength division multiplexing network (WDM). By using light splitters (LS) and wavelength converters (WC) in the joint nodes, the WDM network has been improved. By using our multicast switch the power, delay and desperation have been reduced. The results show that our new algorithm called Highest Number of Destinations (HND) has increased the network capacity compared with previous work.
