heal.abstract	In this letter, we study a single-hop network for a passive star topology, where each station communicates with the other by assigning a fixed wavelength to each station. A station transmits its packets to another station by transmitting over its dedicated wavelength. All of these dedicated wavelengths are multiplexed by WDM into a multiwavelength broadcast system. To enable the destination station to know which packets from the WDM system are destined for it, we introduce the multichannel control architecture (MCA). The MCA with an appropriate network interface unit (NIU) at each station gives the solution to the problem of the electronic processing bottleneck that the single common shared control channel for pretransmission coordination introduces. An analytic model is developed and analyzed for performance measures evaluation based on Poisson approximation statistics for finite population. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.	en
