Performance of a Real IP over DWDM Network > 1000 Nodes Regarding Elastic and Mixed-Line-Rate Scenarios on a Flexible Frequency Grid
17 March 2013
Real network with 1113 nodes is studied regarding CAPEX and energy consumption to compare MLR/elastic and flat/hierarchical IP over DWDM flex-grid network scenarios. No significant benefit for any of the network concepts can be deduced.
