Abstract:
One of the main objectives of network operators is to upgrade their core optical networks in order to keep the ever-growing demands. In this talk, we will first introduce the multi-period Routing, Configuration, and Spectrum Assignment (RCSA) algorithm. The RCSA will be then applied to different alternatives that operators may consider to update their network. These alternatives will be compared so that we will conclude with some guidelines for operators.
