  • Based on a media access and control (MAC) protocol, an arrangement of channels and transceivers in optical packet switching dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks is proposed in this paper. In order to reduce the cost of nodes, fixed transmitters and receivers are used instead of tunable transmitters and receivers. Two fixed transmitters and many fixed receivers are used in each node in the scheme. The average waiting delay of this scheme is analyzed through mathematics and computer simulation. The result shows that the property of the scheme is almost the same as using tunable transmitter and receiver. Furthermore, if the tuning time of tunable transmitters is taken into account, the performance of the tunable transmitter scheme is poor than this scheme at the average waiting delay and throughput of the network.
