Abstract
We have compared the total cost of an innovative elastic network with respect to the conventional WDM ones operating in realistic network scenarios. The results give an insight of the cost benefits that can be obtained with an elastic OFDM-based network for the operation of future optical transport networks with different protection schemes.
