Abstract :
It is shown that wavelength translation mitigates the blocking of cells substantially in cross-connected networks. By increasing the number of wavelengths and employing wavelength translation, the probability of deflection can be reduced, which in turn leads to a significant improvement in the teletraffic performance of the network
