摘要
A Metropolitan Area Network employing optical fibre in a unique fashion is described and analysed with respect to performance. There are two possible physical configurations: a basic topology such as the star and the tree, and the compound configuration such as the tree-star-tree. As a logical overlay which serves to route information packets between stations, a form of perfect shuffle - the ShuffleNet - is used. Logical links between stations are fashioned from subbands of individual wavelength channels. Performance is calculated in terms of average packet delay as a function of traffic load. For example, we delineate the average packet delay as a function of traffic load. Of particular interest is the effect of a limitation on the bandwidth of optical amplifiers, such limitation increases the length of the path between originating and terminating stations.
