Abstract
A method and system are provided for improving bandwidth efficiency in an optical network by dynamically utilizing unused bandwidth located around preliminarily allocated optical channels. The method comprising monitoring actual bandwidth of the preliminarily allocated optical channels incoming to a node of the optical network, reporting the monitoring results to the controller of that node and further to a network controller, receiving at that node recommendations generated by the network controller, adjusting bandwidth of one or more of the allocated optical channels thereby releasing spare bandwidth for inserting one or more additional optical channels thereat.
