Abstract
The performance of an optical packet-switching architecture that uses the
wavelength conversion technique to solve the packet contention problem is evaluated.
The architecture, referred to as shared per node (SPN), is equipped with
limited-range wavelength converters shared per node. We evaluate for this
architecture the optimum scheduling performance by resolving an integer linear
programming problem. We propose some scheduling algorithms allowing the optimum
scheduling performance to be reached in low computation time. In particular an
algorithm, based on heuristic rules, is proposed. It is able to reach good
performance at a complexity O(M), M being the number of wavelengths used.
