Abstract: A network node in an optical network dynamically generates a routing table based on attributes of the optical network. The network node obtains attributes characterizing the optical network, which includes multiple network nodes connected by optical links. The network node calculates cost values for sending data from the network node to one or more next hop nodes that are connected to the network node. Each particular cost value is associated with a probability of success of sending the data to a particular next hop node based on a particular permutation of the attributes characterizing the optical network. The network node generates a routing table correlating the permutations of the attributes with each next hop node based on the cost values.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a memory manager may identify allocators as either transient in nature or static in nature based on a length of time each one of the allocators held, holds, or both, onto requested memory blocks. The memory manager may also allocate memory blocks requested by allocators identified as transient in nature from one memory pool and allocate memory blocks requested by allocators identified as static in nature from another memory pool. In one example, the memory manager may also use a deferred splitting strategy to optimize allocation of free memory next to memory blocks reserved by the most transient allocators by not splitting such free memory if the free bytes are less than a maximum block size threshold.
