Taking Advantage of Elastic Optical Networks

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Elastic Optical Networks

Part of the book series: Optical Networks ((OPNW))

Abstract

This chapter shows how the new paradigm of Elastic Optical Networks (EON) is changing the way we perceive networking. The mode of operation of EON is described and the potential gains are outlined, followed by Use-Cases outlining how flex-grid technology can be advantageous for multi-layer resiliency, for serving metro networks and finally for data centre interconnection.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Without further limitations (e.g. spectral scarcity), it is supposed here that in real network deployments optical interfaces run at their maximum capacity.
