All-to-all Broadcast in Optical WDM Ring with 2-length Extension and 3-length Extension
Authors: ,
Abstract: All-to-all broadcast communication is to transmit a distinctive data from each node to every other node available in the network. This is a fundamental prerequisite in high performance computing and telecommunication networks including enterprises operating datacenters which may spread across thousands of nodes by means of WDM optical networks. Wavelengths are scarce resources in WDM optical networks. Reducing the wavelengths usage is essential to decrease the price and complication of the network. In this article, a ring network is extended by additionally connecting alternate nodes in order to provide alternate paths so as to reduce the effective number of hops between the communicating nodes and also to reduce the wavelength requirements and this network is referred as a ring network with 2-length extension. Similarly, a ring network is extended by directly linking all nodes which are separated by two intermediate nodes with additional fibers and this network is referred as a ring network with 3-length extension. For the ring network with 2-length extension the optimum wavelength number necessary to establish all-to-all broadcast under unidirectional routing is derived by grouping nonoverlapping connections on a common wavelength. The wavelength number necessary atmost to establish all-to-all broadcast in a unidirectional ring with 3-length extension is derived using longest link first routing algorithm.
