Abstract :
We analyze the throughput of fixed-length, variable-capacity (FL-VC) packet technology in OPS MANs with lengths up to several tens of kilometers. Compared to conventional OPS networks using fixed-bit-rate packets, FL-VC often offers throughput increases of ≃50% to TCP flows, and of ≃100% to UDP flows, under realistic traffic patterns. Throughput also increases with respect to equivalent topologies where switches have random-access buffers.
