Abstract

It is well-known that creating Space Division Multiplexing-Elastic Optical Networks (SDM-EON) allocation algorithms can be challenging, especially without the right tools. This paper presents the development of a module of an event-oriented simulator designed to code C++ allocation algorithms in the context of Space Division Multiplexing-Elastic Optical Networks. The built module was tested and validated using an allocation algorithm previously published in the literature. The results were consistent with those in the original article, indicating that the module developed is effective and reliable. The use of specialized tools, such as the module being shown, can significantly increase the effectiveness and precision of this process and can stimulate additional developments in the telecommunications industry. © 2023 by SCITEPRESS – Science and Technology Publications, Lda.
