the quality of optical signals will be seriously affected owing to the accumulation of various impairments in the course of transparent transmissions
so that the signals cannot be transmitted with high QoS.In this paper
a distributed physical impairment-aware RWA algorithm is presented
which is composed of three parts
the impairment-aware routing
transmission quality sorting and allocation by priority.In this algorithm
the transmission quality evaluation in the physical layer is distributed in the hop routing and wavelength channels.Simulation results verify the effectiveness of this algorithm.
