Description: Wavelength routing is a method of data routing in optical networks that is based on the wavelength of the signal. In this approach, each communication channel is assigned a specific wavelength, allowing multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over the same optical fiber without interference. This method is fundamental in optical network technology as it maximizes transmission capacity and improves the efficiency of optical spectrum usage. Networks that implement wavelength routing can manage large volumes of data, which is essential in environments where bandwidth demand is high, such as data centers and telecommunications networks. Additionally, wavelength routing allows for greater flexibility in network configuration, as wavelengths can be dynamically assigned based on traffic needs. This approach also integrates well with emerging technologies such as Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), which aim to optimize the management and performance of modern network infrastructures.
