TL;DR: The drivers, architectures, and technologies that will enable next generation optical node architectures, including multivendor traffic interoperability, optical defragmentation, and node cascadability are described as considerations in the node design.

TL;DR: This work studies the power consumption of AoD including sub-wavelength time switching functionality and results show that AoD can bring energy savings at node level.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether Groupon subscribers are more critical than their peers, or whether some fraction of Groupon merchants provide significantly worse service to customers using Groupons.

TL;DR: This work proposes a novel architecture for an elastic optical interface by combining a variable bitrate transceiver, paired with an elastic aggregation stage, with software-defined control, and reports a real-time field-programmable-gate-array-based prototype that delivers flexible transport frames to be sent with a polarization-division multiplexed quadrature phase-shift keying modulation format.

TL;DR: PULSE as discussed by the authors is a flat architecture that uses parallel passive coupler-based broadcast and select networks and employs a novel transceiver architecture, for dynamic wavelength-timeslot selection, to achieve a reconfiguration time down to O(100ps), establishing timeslots of O(10ns).
