Abstract :
Waveband switching (grouping of optical paths) reduces the optical switch size at the OXCs. We are incorporating wavebanding in mixed-line-rate (MLR) network design to reduce the port cost in addition to the transponder cost. Our results show an improvement in the cost savings compared to an MLR network employing wavelength switching.
