Abstract :
Taking into account the unique features of Mixed-Line-Rate and Multiple-Modulation-Format WDM networks, the cost-, resource-, and impairment-aware virtual optical network (VON) composition methods are proposed, which can create cost-effective and transmission quality-guaranteed VONs while achieving high network resource utilization efficiency.
