Edge Computing Based Traffic Identification in Elastic Optical Networks for Smart Power Grid

The service awareness is of great importance and should be emphasized in Elastic Optical Networks (EON). Aimed to solve this problem, this article proposes an edge computing echo-state-network (E-ESN) model, which is improved greatly from original echo-state-network model by simplifying the reservoir computation. Moreover, the service traffic identification algorithm is also presented to match the multi-service demand. Thus, this proposed E-ESN based service awareness algorithm of software defined optical network is designed, together with the implement approach. Simulation results show that this proposed enhanced scheme can suite for the elastic optical network with better multi-service support ability.
