Abstract :
In this study, we investigate the dynamic connection provisioning problem in mixed-line-rate (MLR) optical networks. Fast heuristic algorithms are proposed for both fixed and tunable node architectures. Results show that our algorithm can significantly reduce the blocking probability and save the transceivers under tunable node architecture.
