Abstract
For all-optical WDM networks, we study the impact of the number of transcei vers and their tunabilities on network performance. Results have been obtai ned through simulations for networks with different topologies. We find tha t a network with a limited number of transceivers in each node and limited transceiver tunability can still perform close to one equipped with a full number of fully tunable transceivers.
