QoS-aware protection in flexgrid optical networks

We propose a protection scenario for flexgrid networks whereby premium traffic survives cuts with just-enough bandwidth. We demonstrate a novel two-wavelength Baudrate-switchable optical transmitter reconfiguring in <2.8ms. We compute typical spectral usage boosted by 80%.
