The elastic light-trail technology reigning the recent trend for data communication in elastic
optical network (EON) prominently. Here, the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing …

A light-trail in a traditional ITU− T fixed wavelength grid optical network is a generalization of
a lightpath. Multiple nodes in a light-trail are allowed to communicate each other along the …

An elastic light-trail, the advanced version of a traditional light-trail, is one of the most recent
dynamic traffic grooming technologies in an elastic optical network. In such networks …

The recently emergent technology in optical communication is the elasticity introduced in
spectrum domain which provides exact amount of spectrum resources allocation incurred by …

Elastic optical networks employ flexible routing and spectrum allocation algorithms to
support diverse services and heterogeneous traffic. By splitting a traffic request into multiple …

In elastic optical networks (EON), routing, modulation selection, and spectrum assignment
(RMSA) is crucial in provisioning connection requests. Multipath RMSA offers a number of …

The wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology is widely used in optical
communication networks that provide bandwidth up to 10 Tbps, but these networks are …

Traffic grooming (TG) has been proposed in two ways as electrical and optical grooming to
efficiently utilize spectrum and transponders due to omitting guard bands between adjacent …

Recently, flexible grid and elastic-rate transponders have emerged as evolutionary
technologies to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for higher spectrum efficiency and …

This paper proposes the use of the saturated cut (SC) method to improve the network
performance through efficient dynamic traffic grooming in IP/MPLS over WDM networks …
