A METHOD OF DETERMINING DELAY IN AN ADAPTIVE PATH OPTICAL NETWORK

摘要

A method of determining delay in an end-to-end path of an adaptive path optical network, the method comprising deriving average IP packet delay from the product of average link utilisation of IP packets in the network being sent in bursts and delay in two way reservation optical burst switching networks, wherein the average link utilisation in the network being sent in bursts is the ratio of average throughput sent in bursts in bits per second, to capacity at a bottleneck link in the end-to-end path in the network.
