Experimental evaluation of a dynamic PCE-based regenerator-efficient IA-RWA algorithm in translucent WSON

Abstract

We devise a novel dynamic PCE-based impairment-aware RWA algorithm in translucent GMPLS WSON that minimizes regenerator usage. Experimental evaluation carried out on the Open GMPLS/PCE control plane of CTTC ADRENALINE test-bed shows that significant improvements (>340%) are attained in terms of the offered traffic load.
