Flexibility of programmable add/drop architecture for ROADMs

We introduce add/drop on demand (ADoD) architecture for ROADMs to provide higher flexibility and lower loss than current proposals. We quantitatively measure flexibility considering system's entropy and associate it with traffic uncertainty, upgradability, and resilience.
