Abstract
In optical switching networks, optical information (packets/bursts) that are forwarded from an optical switch to another through the network could entering a queue of a certain length in each node and may be waiting inside this node before it will be transmitted to the next node. Various queueing models have been widely applied as the main tool in optical switching networks for modeling and performance evaluation analysis of the switching nodes. In this paper, studying the performance analysis of an optical switching node is discussed at Finite and Infinite queueing models to have the optimum queueing model for optical core node switch design. The waiting delay time, the average expected number of optical packets and the loss probability of packets in the optical switch are estimated at variable traffic loads and different wavelength channels.
