Abstract

A network with restoration capability requires spare capacity to be used in the case of failure. Optimization of spare capacity is to find the minimum amount of spare capacity for the network to survive from network component failures. In this paper, this problem is investigated for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) mesh networks without wavelength conversion. We propose a hybrid genetic algorithm approach (GA) for the problem. Simulated Annealing (SA) and Tabu Search (TS) are also applied to this problem for comparison purpose. Simulation results show very favorable results for the Genetic Algorithm approach.
