Abstract

Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) problem is a classical problem in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks. It is reported that RWA problem is a NP-hard problem as the global optimum is not achievable in polynomial time due to the memory limitation of digital computers. We model the RWA problem as an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) problem under wavelength continuity constraint and solve it using Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach to obtain a near optimal solution.
