Provisioning schemes accounting for ROADM add/drop constraints in GMPLS-based WSON

Provisioning schemes exploiting the recently introduced GMPLS extensions for add/drop in WSONs are proposed to effectively handle different ROADM structures and provide a preference on the utilization of add/drop resources with limited flexibility.
