An Approach to the Optimization of Convergent Networks on IP/MPLS with an Optical GMPLS Backbone in Multicast

This paper shows the solution of a multiobjective scheme for multicast transmissions in MPLS networks with a GMLS optical backbone using evolutive algorithms. It has not been showed models that optimize one or more parameters integrating these two types of networks. Because the proposed scheme is a NP-Hard problem, an algorithm has been developed to solve the problem on polynomial time. The main contributions of this paper are the proposed mathematical model and the algorithm to solve it
