In the last several years we witnessed the proliferation of multimedia applications on the Internet. One of the unavoidable techniques to support this type of communication is multicasting. However, even a decade after its initial proposal, multicast is still not widely deployed. One of the reasons

โฆ Synopsis
Bandwidth is a very valuable resource in wavelength division multiplexed optical networks. The problem of finding an optimal assignment of wavelengths to requests is of fundamental importance in bandwidth utilization. We present a polynomial-time algorithm for this problem on fixed constant-size topologies. We combine this algorithm with ideas from Raghavan and Upfal (1994) to obtain an optimal assignment of wavelengths on constant degree undirected trees. Mihail, Kaklamanis, and Rao (1995) posed the following open question: what is the complexity of this problem on directed trees? We show that it is NP-complete both on binary and constant depth directed trees. @ 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

We present a polynomial-time greedy algorithm that assigns proper wavelengths to a set of requests of maximum load L per directed fiber link on a directed fiber tree using at most 5/3L wavelengths. This improves previous results of Raghavan and Upfal (Proc.
