The traffic volume due to bandwidth hungry multimedia and internet applications is growing exponentially and demands a significant change in communication networks. Due to the high speed communication requirements present researchers are giving interest in efficient, adaptive and cost effective optical network design. Recent works in optical networking using optical fiber communication focusing on the efficient utilization of resources by flexibly utilizing the spectrum and adaptive networking to support a better quality of service (QoS). The flexible grid in optical spectrum and adaptive optical networking save spectrum with improvement in energy and spectral efficiency. Simple modulation of a signal can support lower bit rate transmissions, which are more sophisticated for higher bit rates. Recent advances on hardware such as optical transponders and switches make it more feasible to develop a new elastic-optical networking (EON) paradigm. Current research efforts are on new innovations of optical transponders and optical switches to support EON functionalities. The measure of spectrum utilization factor with respect to the value of traffic requirement increases the flexibility of the networks. The Integer Linear Programming (ILP) is used to extract the optimal solution for analysis of utilized frequency slots with available slots and increased traffic in the network. This framework also calculates the spectrum utilization for different traffic in order to choose required frequency slot for the EON to provide uninterrupted network service.
