Abstract
A method of mapping virtual optical networks (VONs) to a physical network that includes physical links that connect physical nodes. The method includes reading physical network information, VON demands, and technology constraints of the physical network. The method includes determining whether an iteration parameter violates an iterative condition that determines whether to continue processing the VON demands. If not, the method includes determining whether there are unprocessed subgroups of the VON demands. In response to there being unprocessed subgroups, the method includes selecting a subgroup of the VONs. The method includes computing feasible mapping patterns for the subgroup of the VONs. The method includes finding a size of a largest subset of the subgroup that has a feasible mapping and slot assignment solution. The method includes finding a mapping solution of the subset that has a feasible slot assignment and a slot assignment of the mapping solution.
