To accommodate an increasing amount of traffic efficiently, elastic optical networks (EON) that can use optical spectrum resources flexibly have been studied. We implement multi-path routing in case we cannot allocate the spectrum with single-path routing. However, multi-path routing requires more guard bands to avoid interference between two adjacent optical paths when compared with single-path routing in EON. A multi-path routing algorithm with traffic grooming technology has been proposed. The researchers assumed that a uniform modulation level was adopted, and so they did not consider the impact of path length on the resources needed. In this paper, we propose a multi-path routing method with traffic grooming considering path lengths. Our proposed method establishes an optical multi-path considering path length, fiber utilization, and the use of traffic grooming. Simulations show we can decrease the call-blocking probability by approximately 24.8% in NSFNET. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of traffic grooming and the improvement in the utilization ratio of optical spectrum resources.
