Abstract

This paper makes the first known attempt to study wavelength-routing networks and the effects of wavelength conversion under dynamic non-Poisson traffic. An approximation that characterizes any non-Poisson traffic by its first two moments is utilized. The arrival occupancy distribution of busy wavelengths for this approximate process is derived and is used to analyze the effects of wavelength conversion. The model predicts that traffic peakedness plays an important role in determining the blocking performance, and also that wavelength conversion gain is insensitive to traffic peakedness over a large range
