Abstract:
In this paper an analytical model of an optical ring
network which is capable of handling WDM traffic intelligently
has been presented. The proposed architecture can be used to
ease the traffic congestion in a ring network. The backbone of the
proposed model is the use of a proxy node which is connected to a
particular number of nodes, depending upon the traffic, then
diverting their traffic and thereby increasing throughput. A
probabilistic model for the proposed network architecture is
developed employing packet queuing control to estimate the
average waiting time of packets in the buffer and the average
number of packets in the buffer for different incoming traffic
arrival rate.
