Abstract :
This paper presents the features of an advanced software simulator for the Elastic Optical Network (EON) - Complex Elastic Optical Networks Simulator (CEONS). The CEONS is as a test environment for solving three main issues addressed in EON: Routing and Spectrum Assignment (RSA) problems; Routing, Modulation and Spectrum Assignment (RMSA) problems, and addressing regenerator placement problem. With a universal API, users can design their own algorithms in any programming language and implement them in the simulator as plugins to solve the problems mentioned above. The ease and versatility of implementing the algorithms allows usage of the CEONS in advanced problems and for the introduction of EON technology.
