Elastic optical networks (EONs) have been receiving extensive attention because of their
inherent flexibility and the efficiency with which they allocate fiber-bandwidth. For an EON …

In this article, we analyze gains resulting from the use of EON architectures with special
focus on transportation of cloud-ready and content-oriented traffic in the context of network …

Two important challenges in designing a survivable optical network are minimizing backup
spectrum allocation and ensuring spectrum assignment constraints. Allocating backup …

As elastic optical networks (EONs) are expected to convey high bitrate connections, a failure
in these networks causes vast data losses. Thus, addressing the problem of survivability in …

Survivability, the ability of a network to withstand and recover from failures, is one of the most
important requirements of networks. Its importance is magnified in fiber optic networks with …

Elastic Optical Network (EON) architectures are considered as a very promising solution for
both huge bandwidth and flexible connection provisioning in next generation optical …

This paper considers the network protection technique of shared backup path protection
(SBPP) in comparison with 1+ 1 path protection for elastic optical networks. We develop …

With the continuing growth in the amount of backbone traffic, improving the cost-
effectiveness and ensuring survivability of the underlying optical networks are very important …

The explosive growth of data traffic-for example, due to the popularity of the Internet-poses
important emerging network requirements on today's telecommunication networks. This …

Optical transport networks typically deploy dynamic restoration mechanisms in order to
automatically recover optical connections disrupted by network failures. Elastic optical …
