This work uses a generalized reduced load approximation scheme to calculate the blocking probabilities for the optical network model for two routing schemes: fixed routing and least loaded routing.
Abstract
We study a class of all-optical networks using wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) and wavelength routing, in which a connection between a pair of nodes in the network is assigned a path and a wavelength on that path. Moreover, on the links of that path no other connection can share the assigned wavelength. Using a generalized reduced load approximation scheme we calculate the blocking probabilities for the optical network model for two routing schemes: fixed routing and least loaded routing.

Routing and capacity allocation in networks with trunk reservation

TL;DR: Using a simplified analytical model of a circuit-switched network incorporating trunk reservation, it is shown that there exist implied costs associated with the priority and nonpriority calls routed through a link, and shadow prices associated withThe capacity for priority andnonpriority traffic through a links.
