routing, modulation, spectrum, and core allocation (RMSCA) problem in dynamic multicore
fiber elastic optical networks (MCF‐EONs). To do so, a new environment was designed and
implemented to emulate the operation of MCF‐EONs‐taking into account the modulation
format‐dependent reach and intercore crosstalk (XT)‐and four DRL agents were trained to
solve the RMSCA problem. The blocking performance of the trained agents was compared …
