WDM networks using wavelength routing are considered to be potential candidates for the next generation backbone networks. One of the critical issues of the future network is a provision of proper QoS guarantees for a wide variety of multimedia multicast service. This paper concerns with the problem of optical multicast routing with QoS guarantees in WDM networks. Using Virtual Source (VS) nodes, we proposes a new MCRWA method for a multicast session, combining the VS-based tree method with Multi-Wavelength Minimum Interference Path Routing (MW-MIPR). This paper also proposes a QoS MCRWA method in combination with QoS constraints and a recovery strategy based on the differentiated QoS service model to provide QoS guarantee for a wide variety of multicast application in the next generation optical networks.
