Abstract :
We introduce an analytical model to obtain the performance bounds for a single hop optical network based on WDM. We model the network under saturation traffic loading while ignoring the specific channel access scheme as a multi-class closed queueing network (BCMP network), for which a product-form solution for the steady-state probabilities exists. Therefore the exact solutions can be derived. In addition, we study the effect on the system performance of the number of stations in the network, the number of transmitters/receivers at each station, and the traffic distribution pattern
