In this study, possible applications of label switching in large area, fully optical
networks are investigated. The objective was to design a label assignment method
by using Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) concept to get an
efficient optical network operation. In order to fulfill this objective, two new
approaches were proposed: a label assignment method and a concatenated label
structure.
Label assignment method was designed to provide an efficient utilization of
resources. Concatenated label structure aimed handling the label in optical
domain. Mainly, the lambda switch capable GMPLS networks were investigated.
In order to verify the performance of label assignment method, a simulator was
developed.
The results of simulation have clearly indicated that the proposed approaches
could be beneficial in an optical network operation.
