Abstract :
In anycast, connection requests are routed to one of multiple destination candidates, thus helping improve the overall acceptance of service requests in the network when compared to traditional unicast. In this paper we develop a new analytical model to compute the network-wide blocking performance for anycast routing and wavelength assignment (ARWA) in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks using the reduced-load fixed-point approximation analysis. This model is based on conventional queuing theory for loss systems combined with a joint probability analysis of the anycast service alternatives. Performance results show that our model provides good accuracy compared to simulation results.
