This paper discusses architecture, protocol, technologies, systems, and networking testbed
for software-defined elastic optical networking in temporal, spectral, and spatial domains. By …

The combination of elastic optical networks (EONs) and software-defined networking (SDN)
leads to SD-EONs, which bring a new opportunity for enhancing programmability and …

Conventional elastic optical networking, EON, uses elasticity in two domains, time and
frequency, to optimize utilization of optical network resources in the presence of fluctuating …

In this paper, for the first time, we experimentally demonstrate an OpenFlow-controlled
elastic optical network (EON) employing a flexible transmitter/receiver. The flexible …

To keep pace with the tremendous bandwidth growth in cloud networking, web-scale
providers, such as Microsoft, have been quick to adopt elastic features of modern optical …

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a modulation technology that has
been widely adopted in many new and emerging broadband wireless and wireline …

Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (O-OFDM), which transmits high speed
optical signals using multiple spectrally overlapped lower-speed subcarriers, is a promising …

We describe experimental demonstration of spectrum-sliced elastic optical path network
(SLICE) architecture. We employ optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) …

Elastic optical networks (EONs) are gradually gaining the attention of researchers and
manufacturers because EONs provide an efficient spectrum utilization compared to the …

We design and deploy an extended OpenFlow-based control plane for elastic optical
networks with DDO-OFDM transmission, detailing the network architecture, the two-phase …
