Abstract: The need of more capacity of the network due to exponential usage of internet by users is the concern of majority of the researchers currently. In line of exploring better solution, it can be said that currently fiber optics has become the core of telecommunication and data networking infrastructures giving birth to optical networking system. These factors have driven the deployment of high capacity optical network and their remarkable rapid transmission from the research laboratories into commercial deployment. However, with the progress of technology taking pace, trade-off is surfaced by the unpredictable traffic situation over the dynamic users situated world wide that is quite challenging to standardize the performance of the existing optical networks. Hence, this paper reviews some of the standard and frequently used techniques for mitigating the traffic issues in Optical networking system.
