Impact of grooming architecture of transport nodes in line interface count for multi-period planning

We analyze the impact of the node architecture flexibility in the number of line interfaces required, for multi-period planning with and without traffic churn. The line interface savings from enforcing hitless traffic re-grooming are highlighted.
