Title:
Long-term Capacity Planning in Flexible Optical Transport Networks
Abstract:
We evaluate four Routing, Configuration and Spectrum Assignment alternatives to increase provisioned capacity in optical networks. Long-term planning shows that regenerators extend the C-Band capacity, whereas multi-band solutions outperform in terms of throughput and under-provisioning.
