Optimized Regenerator Placement in Elastic Optical Networks

This paper illustrates the relevance of specific allocation of flexible opto-electronic regeneration for ultimate spectral efficiency in the core elastic WDM networks: up to 2.5 times more traffic can be transported with sophisticated regeneration strategies versus basic 100Gb/s routing.
