Evaluations of different optical path add/drop ratio restriction schemes on OXC hardware scale and network resource requirement

We analyzed three different kinds of add/drop ratio restriction schemes for reducing OXC hardware scale and network resource requirements. Numerical experiments clarify the degree of effectiveness of each restriction.
