Abstract
Within the communication networks, a delayed constrained data packet is the one that will be dropped if not being served before a certain deadline time, which causes data packet loss affecting the quality of service (QoS). In this paper, we study the blocking probability and the mean delay of such delay constrained packets in an asynchronous single-wavelength optical buffer in optical packet switching networks, where the packet arrival process follows the Poisson process and the packet-length distribution is assumed to be general. We obtain the integral equations of the modeled system and the exact expressions of blocking probabilities and the mean delays. Numerical examples are provided to validate the results with interesting observations being highlighted.
