The Reliability of Optical Access Fiber Optic Networks
Summary :
This paper examines, from the viewpoint of network topology, the reliability of fiber optic networks for local area networks (LAN). The emphasis is on the comparison between the previously proposed simple transmission type (ST type) and the optical access type networks. The failure of an active device in a certain node station interrupts communication between other surviving node stations in the ST type fiber optic network, where fiber optic data highway is directly connected to optical active devices. In an optical access type network, optical signals in a data highway are dropped or inserted by optical passive devices and the failure of active devices does not disturb communication between other node stations. The availability expressions for the ST type and optical access type bus, loop, and star configurations are introduced to compare network reliability. Numerical calculation shows that an optical access type double loop configuration is more reliable, in comparison with other configuration discussed in this paper.
