Designing National IP/MPLS Networks with Flexgrid Optical Technology [PDF]
We propose a two-step procedure to design flexgrid-based national networks. Locations are first partitioned into a set of metro areas interconnected through a flexgrid optical network. The problem is modeled as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (ILP). Next, each network is designed separately.

Improving Link Spectrum Utilization in Flexgrid Optical Networks [PDF]
Flexible grid optical networks are emerging as an appealing solution for future high-speed optical transport because they can provide superior flexibility and scalability and cope with the rapid growth of Internet traffic. This work introduces some simple strategies that help improve spectrum usage in flexgrid optical networks based on limiting the ...

Optimization models for flexgrid elastic optical networks [PDF]
In the paper we present integer programming (IP) optimization models for flexgrid elastic optical networks (EON). We consider several different basic assumptions regarding flexibility of EON that lead to a variety of IP formulations differing in precision and complexity.

Reoptimization of Dynamic Flexgrid Optical Networks After Link Failure Repairs [PDF]
In dynamic flexgrid optical networks, the usage of capacity may not be optimal due to the permanent process of setting up and tearing down connections, which, if not controlled, leads to spectrum fragmentation and, as a result, to increase of connection blocking.

Solving Large Instances of the RSA Problem in Flexgrid Elastic Optical Networks [PDF]
We present an optimization procedure that mixes advanced large-scale optimization methods and heuristics to solve large instances (with over 1.7 million integer variables) of the routing and spectrum allocation (RSA) problem-a basic optimization problem in flexgrid elastic optical networks.

Single-path provisioning with multi-path recovery in flexgrid optical networks [PDF]
The new flexgrid technology, in opposition to the fixed grid one traditionally used in wavelength switched optical networks (WSON), allows allocating the spectral bandwidth needed to convey heterogeneous client demand bitrates in a flexible manner so that the optical spectrum can be managed much more efficiently. In this paper we propose a new recovery

Allocating Multi-Rate Requests to Single-Rate Lightpaths in Flexgrid Optical Networks
Some ideas about the effect of appropriately selecting the size of the connections conveyed by multi-rate flexgrid optical networks are discussed. The main focus is on illustrating the relation between spectrum consumption and effective carried traffic.

Assessing the health of flexgrid optical networks
This paper focuses on quantifying the efficiency of different methods used to allocate resources in flexgrid optical networks. These methods are based on a recently proposed integer linear programming formulation of the routing and spectrum assignment (RSA) problem that takes into account all possible paths and thus theoretically yields optimal ...
