Microservice-Based Unsupervised Anomaly Detection Loop for Optical Networks

Unsupervised learning (UL) is a technique to detect previously unseen anomalies without needing labeled datasets.

Dynamic Reconfiguration of WDM Virtual Network Topology over SDM Networks for Spatial Channel Failure Recovery with gRPC Telemetry

We experimentally demonstrate the dynamic reconfiguration of WDM VNTs in response to SDM spatial channel failures.

Demo paper: Scalable and Resilient Network Traffic Engineering Using Erlang-based Path Computation Element

Scalability and resiliency are two significant requirements for upcoming beyond 5G networks.

Using 5G QoS Mechanisms to Achieve QoE-Aware Resource Allocation

Abstract: Network operators generally aim at providing a good level of satisfaction to their customers.

SDN Control Architectures for WDM over SDM (WDMoSDM) Networks

We provide an overview of SDN control architectures for WDM over SDM (WDMoSDM) optical networks.

HTBQueue: A Hierarchical Token Bucket Implementation for the OMNeT++/INET Framework

The hierarchical token bucket (HTB) algorithm allows to specify per-flow bitrate guarantees and enables excess bandwidth sharing between flows of the same class.

Role of monitoring and analytics in next-generation optical networks

We study the requirements that Control, Orchestration, and Management (COM) systems for optical networks should fulfil, present a minimal set of components they should implement, and propose our re

First Demonstration of Dynamic Deployment of SDN-enabled WDM Virtual Network Topologies (VNTs) over SDM networks

We present the dynamic deployment of logical WDM VNTs by deploying virtual links between ROADM/OXC nodes using spatial channels provided by SDM networks.

Optical Network Telemetry with Streaming Mechanisms using Transport API and Kafka

We present a streaming mechanism for optical networks based on the Kafka architecture and protocols, to efficiently distribute state and network updates following the upcoming ONF Transport API str

Scalable Physical Layer Security Components for Microservice-Based Optical SDN Controllers

We propose and demonstrate a set of microservice-based security components able to perform physical layer security assessment and mitigation in optical networks.
