Abstract
It is shown that wavelength translation mitigates the blocking of cell s substantialy in cross-connected networks. By increasing the number o f wavelengths and employing wavelength translation, the probability of deflection can be reduced, which in turn leads to a significant impro vement in the teletraffic performance of the network.
