Performance Model of Deflection-Routed Multi-Slot Batch-Transfer Networks

With the recently proposed multi-slot batch-transfer (MSBT) architecture, we can build optical packet switches using slow switching fabrics with reconfiguration time larger than the guard time between packets. Since MSBT switches can provide multichannel capability with no additional hardware, we propose to combine the multichannel and deflection routing approaches for packet contention resolution in MSBT networks. As there is no analytical performance model available, we derive the required model in this paper. Simulations show that the model is very accurate.
