Traffic modelling and traffic engineering for next generation transport networks - results from the NOBEL project

This paper introduces novel results in the areas of traffic characterization, traffic modelling and traffic engineering for future optical transport networks, obtained within the EU funded project NOBEL. The work discussed here focuses on those results that are crucial for multilayer network modelling and dimensioning, considering the need to optimize resource utilization in a complex multi-service environment.
