RWA Simulator over WDM Optical Networks

This repo contains a simulator that covers the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) problem over wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM)-based all-optical networks with static traffic (SLE, for static lightpath establishment).

📝 Documentation: https://rwa-wdm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

The following algorithms are implemented:

• Routing
  • Dijkstra's algorithm
  • Yen's algorithm (also known as K-shortest path algorithm)
• Wavelength Assignment
  • First-fit algorithm
  • Random-fit algorithm
  • Vertex coloring algorithm
• RWA as one
  • General Objective Function
  • Genetic algorithm (ours)

The traffic is modelled according to exponential distrubutions of times (namely, the time between consecutive call arrivals and the time a successfully allocated call remains in the network occupying resources) that follow the Poisson distribution. This model was ported from a Matlab toolbox written by Przemyslaw Pawelcza.

Installation

Directly from PyPI via pip:

$ pip install rwa-wdm

Or, from source:

$ git clone htps://github.com/cassiobatista/rwa-wdm-sim.git
$ cd rwa-wdm-sim/
$ python setup.py install --skip-build

Usage

As a module from CLI:

$ python -m rwa_wdm -t rnp -c 8 -r dijkstra -w first-fit -d /tmp/results -p

Alternatively, as a lib:

from rwa_wdm import simulator
# TBD

Requirements

⚠️ Manual installation of required packages is necessary only if you're debugging the source without properly installing the package via either PyPI or setuptools.

We recommend the use of Anaconda:

$ conda create --name rwa python=3.8 argcomplete networkx numpy matplotlib
$ conda activate rwa

However, you can of course just use pip as well:

$ pip install pip --upgrade
$ pip install argcomplete numpy matplotlib networkx

Or simply use the requirements.txt file:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
