Abstract :
We evaluate the elastic optical network performance from the network to node equipment level using a multi-layer network design scheme. Results show that the multi-flow transponder-based network model reduces equipment requirements such as router IFs and transponders compared to mixed-line-rate and bandwidth-variable models.
