In elastic optical networks (EONs), effective soft failure localization is of paramount
importance to early detection of service level agreement violations while anticipating …

In this paper, we present a quality-of-transmission (QoT) aware dynamic routing, modulation
level, and spectrum assignment scheme referred to as QoT-aware RSA. The proposed QoT …

In multi-domain elastic optical networks with alien wavelengths, each domain needs to
consider intradomain and interdomain alien traffic to estimate and guarantee the required …

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 …

Optimization of end-to-end service provisioning across multi-domain EONs is critically
important due to the restricted intra-domain visibility and the agile spectrum allocation …

Focused on reducing capital expenditures by opening the data plane to multiple vendors
without impacting performance, node disaggregation is attracting the interest of network …

This chapter discusses the changes in technology option or design to support the elastic
concept in an optical network. Next, it introduces in detail some practical aspects of the …

Among various nanometer-level displacement measurement methods, grating interferometry-
based linear encoders are widely used due to their high robustness, relatively low cost, and …

Routing and spectrum assignment (RSA) in elastic optical network (EON) is a challenging
task as an inefficient RSA may result in spectral and spatial fragmentation, leading to under …

We propose Quantum Wrapper as a novel networking technology that enables simultaneous
control, management, and operation of quantum networks that coexist with classical …
