Bandwidth Utilisation and Wavelength Re-Use in WDM Optical Burst-Switched Packet Networks

: Results describing the design trade-offs in bandwidth utilisation and wavelength re-use in optical burst-switched networks are reported. The effects of traffic statistics are analysed, and a set of bounds for the network design and lightpath set-up time for dynamic network control is derived. The round-trip time required for signalling is identified to be a key parameter in optimising the network performance.
