Abstract
High-speed networks require fast routine procedures and cost-effective networks require uncomplicated station design. The use of detour routing in the Wavelength-Division Optical Network (WON) allows hardware-implemented source routing and stations with reduced buffering requirements. We describe detour routing and report results of experiments that compare specially optimized WONs to the Manhattan Street Network (MSN). The optimized WONs, found via simulated annealing, achieve higher performance than the MSN. We also examine the effect on performance of introducing additional transmission buffers into the station.
