The emerging software defined networking (SDN) paradigm separates the data plane from
the control plane and centralizes network control in an SDN controller. Applications interact …

Bandwidth fragmentation, a serious issue in elastic optical networks (EONs), can be
suppressed by proper management in order to enhance the accommodated traffic demands …

The growing demand for high-speed transmission rates in recent years attracted research in
new mechanisms for network traffic characterization and classification. Their inadequate …

The rapid growth in communications and internet has changed our way of life, and our
requirement for communication bandwidth. Optical networks can enable us to meet the …

As elastic optical networks (EONs) are expected to convey high bitrate connections, a failure
in these networks causes vast data losses. Thus, addressing the problem of survivability in …

As the services in elastic optical networks (EONs) are bandwidth-intensive, unpredictable
and dynamic, increasing network factors are emerging to affect the performance of network …

Among the multipath protection schemes found in the literature, the Partitioning Dedicated
Path Protection—PDPP proposes to divide the total transmission rate required by the …

In elastic optical networks (EONs), a major obstacle to using the spectrum resources
efficiently is the spectrum fragmentation. In the literature, several defragmentation …

In this paper, we investigate power-efficient directed preconfigured cycles (p-Cycles) for
asymmetric traffic protection in elastic optical networks (EONs) against single link failure …

The space division multiplexing elastic optical network (SDM-EONs) can effectively supply
the large-capacity for the current optical network. If a link failure occurs, it will bring huge …
