Performance modeling of the SIGnet MAN backbone
Abstract
Traffic processing algorithms are discussed for the slotted interconnected-grid network (SIGnet). SIGnet is intended for use as a high-performance backbone in metropolitan and extended-metropolitan areas. The system is designed to exploit the use of existing wavelength division multiplexing and coherent lightwave technologies. When accommodating nonisochronous traffic classes, the virtual topology in SIGnet is piecewise regular. As a result, …
