Abstract
The time for an all-optical network is already here. The huge capacity of the optical resources, in backbones,
distribution and access networks cannot be completely used by current services. The remainders can be used
under the deployment of new models for service provisio
ning. Network virtualizati
on is considered as a serious
candidate to enable the flexibl
e provision of services in the future Internet. This paper introduces a framework to
enhance network virtualization allocati
on in optical networks. To
increase resources utilization efficiency, a new
layer above virtualized elements is introduced to map the
demands over the resour
ces and infrastructures. For
that layer, a strategy based on a resource squa
tting model is presented, modeled and analyzed.Peer Reviewe
