Today
Transparent � TRANSLUCENT ≈ Transparent
Translucent Advantages
→ OXCs available to all wavelengths ⇒ sharing improves regeneratorusage.→ Wavelength conversion capability of regenerators alleviates wavelengthcollisions, which saves the need for wavelength converters.→ Unlikelihood of OXC nodes being fully opticalin the near future (thearticle was written in 2007 though.)

4 Basic Criteria→ Transparent Island Division→ Opaque Node Placement→ 2R/3R Regenerator Allocation→ Routing and Wavelength Assignement
Focus→ First 3 criteria are specific to your type of translucent network.→ Last Criteria can be handle well enough in every type of network bythe GMPLS.⇒ We will focus on the first 3 criteria.

Main CriteriaWe want to minimize the costs:↓ Number of Transparent Islands ⇒⇒ ↓ Opaque Nodes ⇒⇒ ↓ Cost
How to solve the Problem: NP-complete K-cluster

One Simple Strategy
Nodes which have more lightpaths passing through them receive a higherweight, so a traffic balance may be achieved and all nodes be reachablefrom one another.

An Alternative
Placing central regenerators to minimize the costs (Opaque Islands).
Solving the Problem
→ Again an NP-complete K-cluster problem. If we would choose thealternative way, it would be a K-center problem.→ Again a 2D-Dijkstra algorithm is adequate.

Suggestion
→ Due to the fine granularity of the IP layer, the author suggests acombination of the IP and the Optical layers in order to achieve a bettermulticasting.→ The optical layer would be responsible for a coarse trimming, whilethe IP layer, a more refined one.

From the Author→ Further Research is necessary.→ Obviously, opaque networks are the way forward, a natural transitioninto fully transparent networks. As argued, they offer a more efficientallocation of resources.

(1): Differentiate the types of Optical Networks.
There are mainly 3 types of optical networks:1 The first one would be the opaque in which the regeneration and
treatment of the optical signal is accomplished in the electronicdomain.
2 The second one is a transition into the third. The translucentoptical network tries to accomplish only the necessary optical toelectronic conversion and/or regeneration in order to minimize thecosts and maximize the speed of the flux in the network.
3 The third and most probable future of the optical networks is thetransparent optical network. Here, the network has noopto-electronic conversion, i.e., the network is fully optical, thus thespeed of the ongoing flux is maximized.

(2): Why are Translucent Optical Networks the Way Forward?
Translucent Optical Networks are a mean of optimization of the morecommon Opaque Optical Network in which, through clever Opaque Nodeor OXC Regenerators placement, one tries to minimize the costs andmaximize the speed of the traffic flux.

(3): Which of the 3 types of Translucent Networks is the best?
The OXC Nodes Network is the most optimal since there will be anadequate number of regenerators at each node. But it might beextremely complicated to solve in complex networks. So in some casesthe Transparent Island or Sparsely Opaque Nodes Placement might be aneasier and simpler solution.
