Performance Analysis of Elastic Optical Networks with Unequal Distribution of Service Types by Route Lengths.
Elastic Optical Network (EON) emerged as a solution to manage different types of services, improving network scalability and efficiency. However, EON tend to experience differences in service performance due to uneven bandwidth requirements. Thus, the purpose of this work is to approach the problem of the distribution of types of service in a heterogeneous way according to the size of the route, unlike most of the analyzes that are carried out nowadays with a homogeneous distribution of types of services, since divides service types proportionally regardless of route sizes. It may be that in some situations this proportional distribution is not the most adequate, as in the case of choosing the modulation format, which implies a bandwidth requirement. Thus, the results of heterogeneous distribution, with the use of simulation, could be much closer to those observed when there is a choice of modulation format as a function of the size of the routes. The motivation for such a study is to determine the impact that these punctual variations in traffic probabilities have on the overall performance of the network.
