Abstract :
We analyzed the protocol used to improve the performance of the multicast traffic processing in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. In the protocol, control channels are divided into contentionless minislots and contention minislots. The packets which fail to have successful reservation in the present time slot have priority to have successful reservation in the contentionless minislots of the next time slot. Therefore, control channel contentions and destination conflicts can be reduced with the use of contentionless minislots. In the analysis, the maximum number of contentionless minislots is equal to the number of data channels for the maximum performance improvement of the network. We confirmed that this protocol is useful to improve the throughput and system delay performance
