Instance files

The instances are separated in three classes as in [1]: (i) Random instances (set Y), grids embedded on a torus (set Z), and classic or realistic instances (set W). Each instance is divided into two files: one with the network topology and the other with the set of lightpath requests.

The network topology file has the extension ".net" and gives a directed graph in the folowing format:

|V| |A|

for each arc (i,j) in A:

i j

where V is the set of nodes and A is the set of arcs (fibes) in the network. The lightpath requests file has the extension ".trf" and gives a list of lightpath requests in the folowing format:

|T|

for lightpath request (u,v) in T:

u v

where T is the set of lightpath requests.
