Abstract
In WDM rings, the value of wavelength-add/drop rises steeply with ring size and/or internodal demand. We present a bound on attainable equipment savings, and present a methodology for performing the bundling for rings carrying uniform all-to-all traffic, and rings carrying uniform hubbed traffic.
