Study on traffic grooming with mixed line rates in OTN metro networks
Future telecommunication networks are expected to be flat-structured and support a variety of traffic demands.In line with the diversified demands
the Mixed Line Rate(MLR)is applied to the metro OTN traffic grooming algorithm
grooming services at the different bit-rates.A heuristic algorithm is proposed for the service grooming in large and medium-sized networks.Then this algorithm is applied to metro networks and the results in MLR and Single Line Rate(SLR)networks are compared
which show that this algorithm applied in MLR OTN metro networks can reduce the network construction cost.
