Impact of SBVTs based on multi-wavelength source during provisioning and restoration in elastic optical networks

Slice-ability provided by SBVTs is exploited in EONs to increase provisioned and recovered traffic. SBVTs based on multi-wavelength sources are subject to additional constraints but increase spectrum efficiency. We evaluate the impact of those SBVTs during both provisioning and restoration.
