Abstract :
This letter presents a packet loss rate (PLR) differentiation scheme suitable for slotted optical packet switched networks. An analytical model of the proposed scheme is presented and expressions for the PLRs are derived for a multiclass scenario. We also show that the use of the proposed scheme does not result in any reductions in the average switch throughput.
