Optical switching (optical packet switching, optical burst switching, and others) provides alternatives to the current switching in backbone networks. To switch optically, also packet buffering is to be done optically, by means of fiber delay lines (FDLs). Characteristic of the resulting optical buffer is the quantization of possible delays: Only delays equal to the length of one of the FDLs can be realized. An important design challenge is the optimization of the delay line lengths for minimal packet loss. To this end, we propose a heuristic based on two existing queueing models: one with quantization and one with impatience. Combined, these models yield an accurate performance modeling heuristic. A key advantage of this heuristic is that it translates the optical buffer problem into two well-known queueing problems, with accurate performance expressions available in the literature. This paper presents the heuristic in detail, together with several figures, comparing the heuristic’s output to existing approaches, validating its high accuracy.
