This paper addresses the virtual network (VN) mapping problems for the network profit optimization in space-division-multiplexing optical data center networks (SDM-ODCNs). We first define both link resource availability (LRA) and node resource availability (NRA) for the VN mapping optimization, by which an integer linear program (ILP) model and two VN mapping approaches are proposed to achieve the high network profit. Simulation results verify that our proposed LRA VN mapping approach achieves greatly close network performance to that by solving solutions of the integer linear program model and significantly outperforms its counterpart approaches. The improved network profits out of the VN mapping is as a result of well suppressed average crosstalk, rejection ratio of VNs, and spectrum fragmentation ratio in SDM-ODCNs.
