To effectively manage dynamic path operations, we introduce a hierarchical structure consisting of physical network level and optical path level. Numerical experiments show that the proposed hierarchical network greatly reduces the necessary number of switch ports.}, pages = {1--2}, title = {Evaluations on physical and optical path level hierarchical networks to implement optical fast circuit switching}, year = {2009} }
