Abstract
Virtual optical network (VON) provisioning using implicit encoding of mapping constraints may include evaluating mapping choices to exclude certain mapping patterns before evaluating the mapping patterns. For each virtual node in a VON request, candidate physical nodes may be assigned and evaluated for compliance with constraints associated with the VON request. The constraints may be expanded to allow for various selection criteria for the VON request. Multiple VON requests may be simultaneously evaluated to find optimal solutions for the physical network.
