摘要：Presents a hierarchical alloptical network, employing wavelength division multiplexing for multiple channel transmission. A doublelayered network with multiple subnetwork implementation which provides for spatial wavelength reuse is considered. The piggybacked tokenpassing medium access protocol as a fair and noncontentious access scheme is studied for performance. The average delay in getting access to the network medium is determined from the semiMarkov process. The performance of the protocol model design with variable buffer sizes of the transmitter is analysed. It is shown from the doublelayered hierarchical network that alternative route for data transmission can be implemented to improve on performance.
