In this paper, we explore the performance of two network topologies: the optical ring network based on the Sagnac Interferometer and the wavelength routed optical network. The performance of all three networks for multiuser quantum key distribution are then computer simulated and compared by quantum bit error rate (QBER) analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time system level analysis have been performed on the suitability of various optical networks for quantum key distribution.
