Lightpath Planning and Monitoring in SURFnet6 and NetherLight
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the lightpath planning and monitoring software suite developed specifically for managing lightpaths in the hybrid SURFnet6 network and the NetherLight optical exchange point. Lightpaths are high bandwidth circuits with deterministic quality of service characteristics. These lightpaths are used by researchers in demanding network projects. The concept of the high bandwidth lightpaths is new and therefore there is not much network management software available yet that specifically targets these lightpaths. The software suite described in this paper is used for the planning of lightpath resources by automatically finding and reserving paths between two endpoints. The monitoring part of the software suite is used for trouble shooting problems with lightpaths. The status of each lightpath is reported and in case of a problem more detailed information is available to help in identifying the root cause.

Secure Lightpath Creation across Heterogeneous Domains
We realize an open, programmable paradigm for application-driven network control by way of a novel network plane — the “service plane” — layered above legacy networks. The service plane bridges domains, establishes trust, and exposes control to credited users/applications while preventing unauthorized access and resource theft. The Authentication, Authorization, Accounting subsystem and the Dyn...
متن کاملAn integrated survey in Optical Networks: Concepts, Components and Problems
In optical networks, a connection is used to transmit data between source and destination nodes via lightpaths. The optical signal transmitted along a lightpath requires cross-connect switches (OXCs) and telecommunication carriers to switch high-speed optical signals in a fiber optic network. As a signal propagates from the source to the destination, the signal quality is continuously degraded ...
متن کاملA Computation Method for Scenario Studies in WDM Network Planning
Purpose – The problem of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) network planning for a given set of lightpath demands in a mesh topology network is to select lightpath routes and then allocate wavelength channels to the lightpaths. In WDM network planning, a scenario study is to find out the network performance under different lightpath demands and/or different network resource configurations. ...
متن کاملA Survey on Static Impairment-Aware Routing and Wavelength Assignment Heuristics in Optical WDM Networks
Physical layer impairments in optical fibers degrade the quality of the optical signal as it propagates along a lightpath. This leads to an increase in the Bit Error Rate (BER) of the optical signal and the corresponding lightpath becomes infeasible for communication if the BER crosses a certain threshold limit. Traditional RWA approaches assume an ideal physical layer medium and ignore the eff...
