During the information era, the Internet and the service of World Wide Web develop rapidly. Therefore, the wider and
wider bandwidth is required with the lower and lower cost. The demand of operation turns out to be diversified. Data,
images, videos and other special transmission demands share the challenge and opportunity with the service providers.
Simultaneously, the electrical equipment has approached their limit. So the optical communication based on the
wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and the optical cross-connects (OXCs) shows great potentials and brilliant
future to build an optical network based on the unique technical advantage and multi-wavelength characteristic. In this
paper, we propose a multi-layered graph model with inter-path between layers to solve the problem of multicast routing
wavelength assignment (RWA) contemporarily by employing an efficient graph theoretic formulation. And at the same
time, an efficient dynamic multicast algorithm named Distributed Message Copying Multicast (DMCM) mechanism is
also proposed. The multicast tree with minimum hops can be constructed dynamically according to this proposed
scheme.
