Abstract

As an important technique, traffic grooming aggregates the traffic of multiple connections into a single wavelength channel, and significantly increases the utilization of bandwidth of wavelength channels. In this paper, for the problem of grooming multicast traffics in unidirectional SONET/WDM rings, an efficient approximation algorithms with approximation factor of 2lng + lnM + o (ln (M ·g )) for any given number of multicast requests M and grooming factor g is proposed.
