Abstract
We apply a genetic algorithm from Podnar and Skorin-Kapov
[5] to a virtual topology design of a Wide-Area WDM
Optical Network with regular topologies. Based on a given physical
topology a virtual topology consisting of optical lightpaths is constructed. The objective is to minimize the maximal throughput, which implies balancing link loads and accommodating on-growing
traffic requirements in a timely fashion.
The genetic algorithm is applied to benchmark instances of
regular topologies.
