  • Abstract
    This paper reviews the status of research into elastic optical networks and flexgrid, illustrating the benefits of new flexible technologies to allow higher network capacities and support superchannel flows. The paper assesses the potential for the various forms of elasticity and describes open questions of a currently active research area.
