Abstract :
We optimise a 5-node resource limited mesh network with data rates of 400 Gbits and above. We show that by optimising the modulation format as part of the routing algorithm the network throughput can be increased. Fixed and flex grid solutions were compared showing similar throughput however a fixed 75 GHz grid required fewer transceivers.
