This paper proposes a simple model that analyzes the cost saving achieved by Optical IP Switching (OIS), a novel optical architecture, compared to a conventional IP-over-WDM network, where the IP router connects directly to the WDM module. The analysis proposed shows that OIS can bring substantial cost savings in the initial investment of network operators.
