Integrated design and operation of a transparent optical network a systematic approach to include physical layer awareness and cost function.

Integrated design and operation of a transparent optical network a systematic approach to include physical layer awareness and cost function.

The manner and exact timing of the evolution of the widely used DWDM infrastructure to a transparent optical network is judged on economic circumstances and network performance. In this context this article elaborates on a methodology developed within the Project 1ST NOBEL, for integrating cost func...
