Benefit of Progressive Deployment of Regenerators Along with Traffic Growth in WDM Elastic Networks

We present a new strategy of regenerator placement along with traffic growth in the elastic WDM networks, by introducing additional regenerators on the already allocated connections only from when needed to accommodate extra demand of capacity.
