Performance evaluation of an intelligent routed WDM mesh network: An analytical approach

摘要

This paper presents an analytical model of an optical mesh network capable of handling WDM traffic intelligently. The router is modeled as a processor to read the instructions in the header of the packet to implement the required algorithm adopting standard queuing concepts. Packet stacking, switching, or routing performance deliberately depends on packet size, node architecture and network parameters. The numerical result shows a huge data transmission through the router with a least dependence on the routing time up to a significant data rate and thus provides a significant improvement in call connection probability.
