abstract = {We develop a new analytical model for the
estimation of blocking probabilities in OPS and OBS networks. The model is used
to analyze the performance of a new deflection method that uses multiple
wavelength channel reservation thresholds, and gives network designers greater
control over the performance of the network. The accuracy of the analytical
model is assessed using simulations.}
