Abstract
A method and apparatus for reserving bandwidth in a network includes a series of elements. A demand matrix is calculated, for bandwidth requirements based upon communication needs among a plurality of nodes on the network. An integer number of time slots is provided, aligned around the network. Bandwidth is reserved for node-to-node communication based upon the demand matrix. The reserving of bandwidth reserves bandwidth between two nodes based upon time-slot alignment. Transmission is scheduled between the two nodes by reservation of wavelengths and time slots.
