Provisioning, Recovery, and In-Operation Planning in Elastic Optical Networks : John Wiley & Sons, Inc. : 9781119338567 : 1119338565 : 21 Nov 2017 : Explains the importance of Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) and how they can be implemented by the world s carriers  This book discusses Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) from an operational perspective. It presents algorithms that are suitable for real?time operation and includes experimental results to further demonstrate the feasibility of the approaches discussed. It covers practical issues such as provisioning, protection, and defragmentation. It also presents provisioning and recovery in single layer elastic optical networks (EON). The authors review algorithms for provisioning point?to?point, anycast, and multicast connections, as well as transfer?based connections for datacenter interconnection. They also include algorithms for recovery connections from failures in the optical layer and in?operation planning algorithms for EONs. P
