Capitalizing on Next-Generation Optical Communication Systems with Proactive Multi-Period Network Planning

Networking and Internet Architecture 2023-12-25 v1

Abstract

Optical transport network operators typically follow a pay-as-you-grow strategy for their network deployment. We propose a proactive multi-period planning approach based on heuristic network planning, supporting this deployment strategy while enabling efficient network utilization through next-generation technology. We report 60% less provisioned lightpaths.
