Performance modelling and evaluation of optical packet switching network using RT-SPA

This paper describes recent research activities and results in the area of optical packet switching network using a formal modelling language, called real-time stochastic process algebra (RT-SPA). With this performance analysis methodology it is possible to facilitate flexible router designs with the implementation using simulation with a lower computational time and cost than using conventional techniques. The adequacy of this framework applicability check is assessed by applying it to model and analyze wavelength-routed packet buffering techniques for optical packet switching networks.
