Abstract :
Multichannel-multihop lightwave networks have been proposed as a means of using the enormous capacity of the optical fiber in the local environment. In multihop networks, information bearing packets are switched from the source to the destination through a uniform logical configuration of nodes. Transmission through the fiber is over wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) channels. The bilayered ShuffleNet is a new logical configuration for multihop networks. This configuration uses the same logical configuration as the conventional ShuffleNet in terms of the number of users, number of columns and connectivity between columns: a doubling of connectivity is obtained by allowing each station in a column to be connected to a “mirror” image of stations from the previous column. We compare the performance of the bilayered ShuffleNet with the SR
