Abstract :
This letter proposes an exact and simple method to optimize the fiber lengths of fiber delay line buffers in an asynchronous network with variable packet length. Existing algorithms required considerable calculation, which can be avoided by using the closed-form loss probability expressions we obtained, valid for general traffic conditions.
