The RWA deals with the problem of assigning paths and wavelengths to requests in optical communication networks. The multilevel approach is a general solution strategy involving stepwise coarsening the original problem instance, solving a simplified instance and expanding the solution back to the original size. We propose both a multilevel-inspired construction heuristic and a multilevel algorithm using iterated local search for refinement. These algorithms significantly improve previous approaches regarding time consumption and solution quality for large instances.}",
