RT info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject T1 Survivability against Amplifier Failures in Multi-band Elastic Optical Networks A1 Hosseini, Soheil A1 Miguel Jiménez, Ignacio de A1 Merayo Álvarez, Noemí A1 González de Dios, Óscar A1 Durán Barroso, Ramón José K1 multi-band K1 elastic optical networks K1 protection K1 blocking ratio AB We propose and evaluate different techniques to provide protection against, at least, amplifier failures in multi-band (C+L) elastic optical networks using two different amplifier architectures. The strategies are compared in terms of blocking ratio and protection capabilities. We demonstrate that the use of the proposed hybrid protection technique leads to a significant decrease on blocking ratio leveraging on one of the amplifier architectures and exploiting that different connection requests may have different resiliency requirements.
