Abstract :
This paper presents a novel scheme for scheduling packet traffic on a wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) local optical network which employs a wavelength router. An N-port latin router allows N2×N2 connectivity via only N physical wavelengths. We propose TDM schedules for interconnecting MN nodes with a wavelength router. We show that for non-zero transceiver tuning time, throughput on the order of N can be achieved
