Abstract

Calculating blocking probabilities in a network is hard work to do. Also transmission limitations and network upgrade strategies are all expected to mean that different links in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) network are expected to have different number of light channels per link. In this paper, we examine the new calculation method, Markov Random Field model, and compare it with other methods. However, the performance improvements depend on the number of wavelengths and fibers on each link regarding to the offered loads and the wavelength assignment scheme used.
