Abstract :
In this paper we use an approximate analytical solution to show the influence of tuning delay on the system performance under different network conditions and characteristics such as number of wavelength channels and offered load. We also examine the effect of average packet delay and tuning time on receiver throughput. Finally, we demonstrate the channel blocking probability versus network offered load characteristics
