  • Abstract
    We enhance the potential cost savings from optical network transparency by applying connected dominating sets and impairment-aware routing, thus reducing the density of OEO nodes substantially below that obtained with more straightforward path improvement heuristics. The funding support of NIST ATP contract 70NANB8H4018 is gratefully acknowledged.
