This paper proposes novel optical path accommodation design algorithms
for networks wherein the number of wavelengths multiplexed into a fib
er is restricted. This algorithm optimizes both optical path route and
wavelength assignment in VWP/WP networks. It minimizes optical path c
ross-connect (OPXC) system scale in terms of incoming/outgoing fiber p
ort numbers. A comparison in terms of required OPXC system scale betwe
en the WP and VWP schemes is demonstrated for the first time.
