Abstract

During lightpath establishment in WDM optical networks, two important steps, other than routing, are: wavelength selection and wavelength reservation. If two or more lightpaths select the same wavelength, wavelength collision occurs. The basic reason for collision is the non-availability of the updated wavelength usage information. Markov based wavelength selection guesses a unique wavelength in advance, where each node periodically broadcasts its adjoining link usage information at a regular interval T. But, at any intermediate time t (0
