Blocking analysis of multifiber wavelength-routed networks

In this paper, we provide a new analytical model for evaluating the blocking performance of dynamic lightpath establishment in multifiber wavelength-routed networks. By adopting the simple link-independent model together with the wavelength correlation assumptions, we manage to achieve a good balance between analytical accuracy and computational complexity. Extensive numerical results show that the proposed model can quickly produce accurate analytical results under different traffic loads and in different networks.
