In this paper we present an algorithm for balancing traffic
flows between lightpaths in WDM networks. The load
balancing is based on classification of the traffic flows and
the use of state information of the links and optical cross
connects. Higher priority traffic flows are directed to less
loaded lightpaths thus providing them with higher throughput
and lower transport delay than is available for lower
priority flows. The load levels of the lightpaths are tuned
dynamically to support the required quality of service. Additionally,
the algorithm ensures that the aggregate load of
the incoming data flows does not exceed the overall capacity
of the parallel lightpaths.
