Abstract
Optical node performance analysis in terms of number of wavelength converters
for a multihop optical ShuffleNet under deflection routing is presented. From the
computed results for a given number of wavelengths, it is found that in order to
achieve the minimum deflection probability at full load, the number of wavelength
converters required is at most 60% of the number of wavelengths. Any additional
wavelength converters would not be necessary in reducing the overall deflection
probability. These upper-bound findings are indeed helpful for network engineers
designing a cost-effective network node.
