  ABSTRACT: The major challenge in elastic optical networks is to determine the path of a connection and to allocate spectral resources on the links of this path. This problem consists of two sub-problems, routing and spectrum allocation. In the literature, these sub-problems are solved with a predefined order for all topology node pairs. Recent work proposes hybrid resolution algorithms based on connection demand and network state to provide a solution to these problems. However, the blocking rate of new connection requests has become problematic. In this work, we propose a hybrid routing and spectrum assignment policy to improve blocking rate of new connection requests. The proposed solution consists to change the routing policy of a pair node if the connection request is blocked. This algorithm improves the blocking rate of new connection requests.
