Abstract
In this paper we study how the performance (in terms of blocking probability) of optical mesh networks depends both on the number of wavelengths available per link and the number of transceivers in each node. These studies have been conducted based both on analytical models and on simulations. A related simulation based study on the impact of the number of transceivers and their tuneability will be also reported for several RWA algorithms
