【 摘 要 】

This work presents efficient connection provisioning techniques mitigating high-power jamming attacks in spectrally-spatially flexible optical networks (SS-FONs) utilizing multicore fibers. High-power jamming attacks are modeled based on their impact on the lightpaths' quality of transmission (QoT) through inter-core crosstalk. Based on a desired threshold on a lightpath's QoT, the modulation format used, the length of the path, as well as a set of physical layer characteristics, each lightpath can potentially tolerate a high-power jamming attack. In this paper, an integer linear program is thus formulated, as well as heuristic algorithms to solve the problem of attack-aware routing, spectrum, modulation format, and core allocation in SS-FONs, aiming to both efficiently provision the network in terms of network resources, as well as minimize the impact of high-power jamming attacks on the established lightpaths. Extensive simulation results are obtained for several algorithm variants with different objectives, demonstrating the validity and efficiency of the proposed techniques that can effectively mitigate high-power jamming attacks, by minimizing the number of inter-core interactions, while at the same time establishing connections with high spectral efficiency.
