Abstract

In this work, we present an algorithm based on combinatorial Benders decomposition for the routing and spectrum allocation problem, both with and without path protection. The implementation on randomly generated instances over topologies from the literature shows that this approach is efficient for optimally solving this problem when the objective function seeks to minimize the sum of the lightpath lengths.
