| description | In the current study, the Wavelength-Space-Wavelength (W-S-W) switching
fabrics are considered for performance evaluation purpose. WSW2
architecture, which is derived from Clos switching fabrics, is made up of
three phases. In the first and third stages, the converting switches of the
bandwidth-variable waveband are contained, while the central phase is made
up of bandwidth-variable waveband selective space switches. This design
is capable of shifting the optical wavelength of connections within the first
and last stages, while the second stage merely forwards the connections in the
space domain. The switching fabric is capable of switching the switch m-slot
connections occupying the m adjacent slots, 1 ≤ m ≤ mmax. Recently, few
papers, which have been published in this area, investigated the strict-sense
(SSNB) and wide-sense (WSNB) non-blocking conditions of these kind of
switching fabrics. A large number of center stage switches and spectrum
converters are required by SSNB and WSNB switching fabrics. In this research,
an evaluation of the blocking switching fabrics has been done with the aim of identifying the optimal number of spectrum converters and/or center stage
switches. The performance evaluation has been carried out using simulation
that is implemented in C++ programming language. Simulation results have
provided insights on the relationship between the number of converters and
blocking probability of the mentioned switching. |
