نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we explore in details the framework ElasticO++, which is a simulation framework for Elastic Optical Networks using OMNeT++. ElasticO++ is the first software available capable of working with spectrum defragmentation in dynamic network scenarios. The flexibility offered by the discussed tool allows both academia and industry to develop and evaluate new algorithms and techniques for Elastic Optical Networks. In this paper, we focus on ElasticO++ architecture, algorithms, and the features which we consider makes our framework unique. Additionally, we present a simulation case study and the newer features we are currently developing.

Elastic optical networks (EONs) provide fine bandwidth allocation granularity and enable scalable network management. In this paper, we review the strategies to alleviate spectrum fragmentation from both the preemptive and proactive perspectives. As for preemptive defragmentation, we investigate the characteristics of bandwidth fragmentation in EONs, and then discuss a fragmentation-aware routi...

We propose intelligent timing and object selection algorithms for adaptive spectrum defragmentation in EONs with time-varying traffic. The simulation results show that the algorithms can stabilize and reduce bandwidth blocking probability (BBP) effectively with the minimum number of connection reconfigurations.
