Efficient network management in optical backbone networks is crucial for handling continuous traffic growth. In this work, we address the challenges of managing dynamic traffic in C- and C+L-band optical backbone networks while exploring application flexibility, namely the compressibility and delayability metrics. We propose a strategy, named Delay-Aware and Compression-Aware (DACA) provisioning algorithm, which reduces blocking probability, thereby increasing information-carrying capacity of the network compared to baseline strategies.
