Why delay of a connection is of a major concern in OVPN/ONC selection?

 The delay in fiber optics communication for OVPN/ON can be

neglected due to high speed data transmission.
 However, it can be used for the selection of fiber materials as
well as for the computation of accurate connection quality.
 It matters when there is a need of guaranteed quality to the end
customer.
 Hence, delay can be considered for the analysis of fiber
characteristic in order to opt a better fiber quality.
 This also can help to compute accurate OVPNC/ONC quality
in order achieve guaranteed QoS.

Computation of Q-Factor (QFc)
 Q-Factor represents the quality of a connection.
 We have defined it as the ratio of TDR to ETED of
kth OVPNC/ONC.
 TDR: Total Data Rate, ETED: End to End Delay,
ONC: Optical Network Connection, k: kth
Connection, i: Node i, j: Node j, m: Client m, n:
Client n, s: Source, d: Destination

Network Topology

 The benchmark NSF topology has limitation of 10 node and 16

links. It can be used for larger network, where more number of
routes can be computed.
 In larger networks, the number of links for a source-destination
pair can be very large.
 Under such circumstance, the computation of Quality
parameters can be limited to 7 hops only.
 It is expected that other routes will provide lower performance.
 The simulation results were taken for a single source-
destination pair. However, it also can be analyzed for any
source-destination pair.
 The computational result was done using MATLAB coding.
