← TechnologyWhich mechanism restricts throughput when bursty traffic overloads an optical wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) link?
A)Wavelength contention resolution✓
B)Chromatic induced dispersion
C)Polarization mode beating
D)Stimulated Brillouin scatter
💡 Explanation
Wavelength contention resolution bottlenecks throughput between source and destination, because multiple bursty streams compete for the same wavelength; therefore packets must be queued, rather than transmitted immediately due to the unavailability of the wavelength.
