Abstract
We analyze the performance of an optical packet switch equipped with shared
multicast wavelength converters. The architecture performance is evaluated by means of
an analytical model, and it is compared to the performance of an optical packet switch
equipped with shared unicast wavelength converters. The obtained results show that in a
multicast traffic scenario the proposed architecture allows the wavelength converters to
be saved. In some cases the gain can be of the order of 94%.
