Abstract :
This paper presents a new logical topology Excube-net, based on the properties of hypercube network for enhancing the reliability of optical networks using wavelength division multiplexing. The presence of multiple number of paths between any two nodes in exchange of reasonable number of hops in the network, ensures a higher degree of reliability compared to other existing topologies in case of link failure, as well as in balancing link loading in the network so as to maximise the network throughput.
