Photonic Network Model Advantages • Supports Overlay Model and Peer Model • Overlay • Photonic Switch computes the path • Network-level abstraction • Peer • Router computes the path (The router has enough information about the characteristics of the optical devices/network) • Link-level abstraction Performance Monitoring in Photonic Networks in Support of MPL(amda)S
Challenges of Photonic Networks • Optical layer information not available • SONET • Is unaware of optics • Makes network opaque • Digital wrappers don’t offer a solution either • Provisioning, switching, management and monitoring functions need to move to optical domain Performance Monitoring in Photonic Networks in Support of MPL(amda)S
Proposed Optical Parameters • Dispersion (chromatic and Dispersion Mode) • Optical power level and signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) • Bit rate • Q-Factor • Wavelength registration • Wavelength selective component drift • Optical cross talk • Optical power transients • Bit error rate • Jitter • Insertion loss Performance Monitoring in Photonic Networks in Support of MPL(amda)S
Control Plane • Control plane used to communicate, monitoring is done on the actual wavelength • Flows to be supported • Router - PXC • PXC – DWDM • PXC - PXC • DWDM systems can continue to use proprietary implementations ([de]mux – oamp – oadm) • Out-of-band on dedicated standard ITU channel Performance Monitoring in Photonic Networks in Support of MPL(amda)S
For Further Study • Final List of optical parameters • Agreed techniques for measurements of optical parameters • Synthesis of optical parameters for link state database and network management • Interface between PXC and DWDM Performance Monitoring in Photonic Networks in Support of MPL(amda)S
