Benefit Evaluation of All-Optical Subchannel Add–Drop in Flexible Optical Networks
Recent advances in switching technology have enabled the all-optical add/drop of low-rate signals to/from flexigrid superchannels empowering all-optical traffic grooming (AOTG) as an alternative to electronic grooming, e.g., OTN. This capability promises more efficient resource utilization and cost...
