Abstract
In all-photonic networks, both transmission and switching is performed in the optical domain, without optoelectronic conversion for the data traversing the network. An accurate traffic model is critical in an agile all-photonic network (AAPN) which has the ability to dynamically allocate bandwidth to traffic flows as the demand varies. This thesis focuses on traffic modelling and analysis. A novel traffic model is proposed which can capture the traffic behaviours in all-photonic networks. The new model is based on a study of existing traffic modelling literature. It combines the time-varying Poisson model, gravity model and fractional Gaussian noise. This model can be used for the short-range traffic prediction. We examine Long-Range Dependence and test the time constancy of scaling parameters using the tools designed by Abry and Veitch, to analyze empirical and synthesized traffic traces.
