A novel multicast technique in sparse splitting WDM mesh network using light-forest approach

Abstract

Multicast communication over optical fiber communication is becoming an emerging trend in the modern communication. As the member set increases the requirement of splitting also increases. Hence in a sparse splitting WDM network message blocking due to lack of splitters, available bandwidth, delay bound limitations are degrading the quality of service of the multicast communication. Hence better resource management algorithm need to be devised to improve the throughput and QoS of multicast communication. In this paper we have proposed a novel algorithm which minimizes the wavelength usages by allowing lesser component trees in a light-forest without violating either of the splitting as well as delay constraints.
