“…Finding the best parameters configuration, such as bandwidth allocation, routing, and modulation allocation, considering the specific characteristics of flexible grid DWDM networks was proposed in [50]. The global bandwidth scheduling heuristic algo-rithm for complex IP over OTN networks using computational intelligence was proposed in [67] and was explored to ensure efficient bandwidth allocation. Heuristic algorithms seeking to optimize the allocation of resources, such as wavelengths, routes, and bandwidth, considering network constraints and requirements, were addressed in [44], [45], [34].…”
