Abstract
Survivability in the OpenFlow-based software-defined elastic optical networks (SD-EONs) are more challenging than that in the conventional optical networks because failures can affect control plane operations. Meanwhile, traffic grooming is enabled by sliceable transponders can reduce power consumption and obtain higher spectrum efficiency. In this paper, we study the survivable grooming routing and spectrum allocation in SD-EON. First, provide an integer linear programming formulation to minimize both the required transponders and the maximum number of occupied frequency slots. Then, we develop a heuristic algorithm called shared backup path grooming protection (SBPGP) to get enough protection and less resources consumption. Extensive simulations are performed to study the power consumption of optical elements in data plane. Numerical results show that the proposed SBPGP scheme achieves better performances than the traditional shared backup path protection without grooming.
