Abstract: We focus on lightpath adaptation under variable traffic demands in flexible-grid optical networks. Specifically, we study three different adaptation schemes for the variable spectrum allocation. Illustrative numerical results show the benefits of the schemes. © 2011 Optical Society of America1 OCIS codes: (060.4510) Optical communications; (060.4251) Networks, assignment and routing algorithm
