Abstract

This paper presents the SimRSA tool, an educational network planning tool for Spectrum-sliced Elastic Optical Path Networks. It includes a set of heuristic algorithms for solving RSA problem. The input parameters to the planning problem are the network physical topology, the traffic matrix and some technological constraints like the number of sub-carriers per link or slots. The tool is implemented as a JAVA program. The set of heuristic algorithms can be easily extended. A graphical interface is provided to plot the results obtained from different heuristics and compare them.
