چکیده
We study several models for fixed-size packetkell switching (e.g., 53 bytes for asynchronous transfer mode) in wavelength routed optical networks with an emphasis on throughput performance analysis. In particular, we examine the associated trade-offs between functionality and hardware complexity. The basic model here is a two-sided “switch” or sorter. Cells generated at user inputs destined for user outputs are allowed to reach their destinations by recirculation or multihop through a fixed wavelength routed optical network a number of times. Using algebraic techniques, we analyze the basic model and its variations that use different types of wavelength translation for their capability to achieve permutations of cells from inputs to outputs. In particular, we showed that when cell-by-cell wavelength translation functionality is allowed, the number of recirculations in the network to achieve all permutations is 3 logw N where W is the number of wavelengths. The resultant normalized per user throughput of 1/3 log, N is close to the conjectured optimal of 1/(2 log, N 1) under the conditions specified in the model. Finally, using another model we show that it is possible to achieve a normalized per user throughput of 1 and we calculate the amount of extra hardware required for this purpose.

We consider the problem of designing a logical optical network topology for a given physical topology (or fiber layout) and a given traffic demand matrix between the end-users. Traffic between the end-users is carried in a packet-switched form and the objective of our logical topology design is to minimize the maximum congestion on the logical connections in the logical topology. The logical co...

We develop algorithms for the design of optical packet-switched networks. These algorithms are aimed at upgrading an existing ber-based, network infrastructure, such as the NSFNET backbone, by using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology. The network architecture employs wavelength-routing optical switches which enable the establishment of all-optical, WDM channels, called lightpaths...
