X Abstract

Currently existing dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks start to migrate from numerous point-to-point links towards meshed, transparent, optical networks with dynamically routed light paths. This increases the need for appropriate network monitoring and supervision methods. Optical performance monitoring (OPM) has to be cost-effective. Thus additional spendings for OPM have to be significantly smaller than the savings in OPEX due to increased reliability and ease of operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM). We elaborate on different advanced monitoring concepts. First, we discuss general failure scenarios in meshed networks. Then we describe software based failure root cause analysis and its implementation. We conclude that by implementing appropriate software algorithms in the network hardware effort can be significantly reduced. Finally, we assess different advanced OPM methods which may show up as useful to enable OPM in future optical networks.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
