A wavelength to be utilized to transfer a data flow amongst different wavelengths available to an adaptive path switched optical network is determined. A measure of average traffic intensity on a particular wavelength is determined. A breakable connection, a connection that is currently transmitting unprotected data packets on a wavelength for which bandwidth has been allocated and reserved, that has a least amount of average traffic intensity is selected. There may be an optical switch that determines the measure of the average traffic intensity on a particular wavelength and that selects the breakable connection for transmitting the data flow.
