Abstract
In this letter we show that when IP traffic is loaded directly over WDM-bas ed networks, the burstiness of IP packets can have significant effects on t he network performance through its influence on the fiber nonlinear effects , mainly the four-wave mixing effect provided the fiber input light power i s high, the frequency spacing is narrow and IP traffic load is heavy.
