Highlight
• A WDMA algorithm that maximizes throughput and minimizes bandwidth fragmentation.
• Node traffic-depended buffers whose length depends on traffic probability distribution.
• Use of TT-TR node network interface to exploit all wavelengths for transmission & reception.
• Achievement of 334% throughput increase comparing to relative study, under high load.
This study aims to put forward an extensive discussion about the increasing demand for available bandwidth to serve the multiple types of traffic in modern wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) metropolitan area networks (MANs). A traffic-depended multi-buffer node architecture in conjunction with an efficient asynchronous transmission WDM access (WDMA) protocol to serve the variable size Internet packets in ring MANs is proposed. The structure of the multi-buffer node architecture is determined by the probability distribution of each packet size category in the MAN traffic, providing storage and dropping events equity among the nodes. The adopted WDMA algorithm satisfies the requirement for high performance efficiency especially under high offered load, by taking care to optimally face the bandwidth fragmentation problem and to maximize the bandwidth exploitation, while it effectively avoids both the packets collisions over the wavelengths and the destination conflicts. Numerical results prove that the proposed network model achieves throughput improvement up to 334% as compared with the relative study of Pranggono and Elmirghani (2011). An analytical framework is developed for the protocol throughput predictions under both symmetric and asymmetric IP traffic scenarios. Also, the proposed protocol performance is thoroughly investigated through simulation results based on Poisson and self-similar traffic model statistics, for both traffic scenarios.
