Abstract

With the rapid development of information technology, the Internet of Things industry and E-Commerce industry has become increasingly mature, and topics such as cloud-computing and edge-computing have become hot topics. In these fields, the rapid growth of terminal devices and the significant increase in user communication service demands have led to higher requirements for optic fiber networks in terms of bandwidth, cost-effectiveness, and protection. Elastic optical networks technology has emerged as a standout solution due to its ability to improve performance through optimizations in modulation formats, routing, and spectrum allocation. Over the past decade, EONs have experienced substantial development. This article provides a concise tutorial on EONs, covering its characteristics, architecture, principles, and reviewing some technical details. Lastly, the article discusses the research challenges and issues posed by EONs.
