Switchless Elastic Rate Node (SERANO) Architecture: A Universal Node for Optical Grooming and Adaptive Networking

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The switchless elastic rate node (SERANO) is an elastic optical network block architecture facilitating reduction in network cost and blocking due to spectral fragmentation while extending the capacity-reach product in translucent optical networks. We present an analytical mathematical method for minimizing the number of transceivers that are solely used to construct this block, albeit a finite blocking probability. Moreover, based on a realistic traffic matrix and making use of a networking planning tool, we deduce a SERANO’s block dimension for BT’s national backbone network. Finally, we estimate the conditions under which the cost of a SERANO block is lower to the corresponding electronic switch for providing important networking functions like 3R regeneration, defragmentation, and network reoptimization.
