Network planning strategies for next-generation flexible optical networks

TLDR
Using well-established results on non-linear propagation modeling in coherent optical links, two different approaches for network performance optimization are addressed and compared in terms of performance maximization and robustness to dynamic changes in the network.

The GN-Model of Fiber Non-Linear Propagation and its Applications

TL;DR: This paper tries to gather the recent results regarding the Gaussian-noise model definition, understanding, relations versus other models, validation, limitations, closed form solutions, approximations and, in general, its applications and implications in link analysis and optimization, also within a network environment.

Network planning strategies for next-generation flexible optical networks [invited]

TL;DR: It is shown that, in pure coherent optical networks, the planning strategy that best supports the dynamic evolution of the network is the design aimed at BER minimization.
