Design and experimental evaluation of dynamic inverse-multiplexing provisioning in GMPLS-controlled flexi-grid DWDM networks with sliceable OTN BVTs

We present and experimentally evaluate a GMPLS/PCE control architecture for dynamic provisioning of inverse-multiplexed elastic optical connections in flexi-grid DWDM networks, combining sliceable bandwidth-variable transponders (BVTs) and OTN signals.
