Abstract
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for demand aggregation is provided. The method may include routing demands in a ring network such that a length for each routed demand does not exceed a route length maximum, and a load imbalance at each node in the ring network is minimized. The method may also include maximizing optical line card sharing by assigning routed demands sharing common ends to the same wavelength.
