Abstract :
This paper reports on architectural and performance analysis of online re-purposed networks built with programmable data and control plane for Fixed and Flex-Grid communication. The studies demonstrate the effect of node placement strategies on performance, the impact of routing and resource allocation mechanisms, and the corresponding trade offs.
