Performance Evaluation of the WDM Ring Network Based on Photonic Slot Routing
광-슬롯 경로 배정 방식을 기반으로 한 WDM 링의 성능 평가
Abstract
Photonic Slot Routing(PSR) is a promising approach to solve the fundamental scalability problem of all-optical packet switched WDM networks. In photonic slot routing, packets destined for the same subnetwork are aggregated to form a photonic slot which is jointly routed as a single unit of information through the network. The relative location of the nodes from bridge may cause to fairness problem in the unidirectional WDM ring network based on PSR. As photonic slots from different subnetworks can originate contentions at the bridge, packets may be dropped and retransmitted. Thus we evaluated the performance of PSR based WDM ring network in the point of fairness for each node and slot contentions at the bridge. Simulation results show that the PSR based WDM ring requires a slot access mechanism to guarantee the transmission fairness and efficient switch architecture to resolve slot contention at the bridge.
