With the exponential growth of traffic driven by video and Internet services, WDM systems evolve regularly to increase optical fiber capacity. To meet the relentless need for capacity, advanced features have been integrated into optical layer leading to the notion of channel flexibility (datarate elasticity, flex-grid). In contrast, with the potential benefits that optical channel flexibility provides, network dimensioning gets even more complicated, and traditional dimensioning tools should be rethought. Moreover, some strategic and technological problems appear with optical layer flexibility. Almost, all legacy equipment in the optical layer needs to be replaced by greenfield and well-adapted equipment, which requires new investments. Fu...
