Abstract

A wavelength is selected for use in transmitting optical data along a path in an optical network. Wavelengths that are available for use end-to-end along the path are found, the wavelengths that are available on each link attached to each node on the path are found and a wavelength that is available end-to-end and that is more available on the links attached to the nodes is selected.
