On Congestion Minimization in Broadcast Optical Networks

We address congestion minimization in broadcast optical networks having arbitrary and regular connectivity patterns. The relevant optimization problems are solved heuristically using tabu search algorithms. We compare optimizations results of a regular versus an arbitrary topology. In terms of heuristically achieving small congestion, the results suggest that with increased problem sizes, regular topologies become more attractive. In such cases the benefit of having less restricted arbitrary network topology might not be fully utilized. Moreover, regular design will implicitly offer benefits associated with management and operations of regular topologies.
