Query: Traffic Load Uniformity in Optical Packet Switched Networks   A crucial issue in Optical Packet Switched (OPS) networks is packet loss due
to contentions. In this paper we study how traffic load uniformity influences
the packet loss in a single OPS node. Traffic load uniformity is a measure of
the load asymmetry a specific output link in an OPS node receives from its
input sources. We develop analytical models based on the Engset traffic model.
As a major contribution of this paper, we show that an asymmetric traffic
pattern results in less packet loss compared to a symmetric traffic pattern for
a single output link in an OPS node.
