Abstract

We study multicast traffic performance in single-hop optical networks based on broadcast and select system that employ a receiver collision avoidance protocol (RCA) as a multicasting protocol. We use an approximate analytical solution and Markov model to analyse the system. We consider fixed and uniform distribution of the destination set size to show the relationship between the receiver throughput and system throughput against the multicast size of the destination. We also show the trade-off between the offered load and channel probability. Then we evaluate the system as a relationship between blocking probability and offered load
