Abstract :
This paper proposes an access fairness protocol for optical packet-switched wavelength division multiplexing ring networks that employ destination removal for high-performance. The protocol aims at throughput fairness, and it combines cyclic reservations with transmission credit allocations to meet the demands of the nodes and adapt to changes in traffic characteristics dynamically and efficiently.
