In this paper, we propose a reinforced virtual optical network embedding ( R-VONE ) algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning ( DRL) to optimize network embedding policies automatically. The network resource attributes are extracted as the environment state for model training, based on which DRL agent can deduce the node embedding probability. Experimental results indicate that R-VONE presents a significant advantage with lower blocking probability and higher resource utilization. %U https://jcupt.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.19682/j.cnki.1005-8885.2022.1020
