Towards deployment of signalling based approaches for impairment aware lightpath setup in transparent WDM optical networks

We implement extensions to intrinsic functionality of standard RSVP-TE on a commercially available GMPLS protocol stack to setup optically feasible lightpaths and study the performance and deployment feasibility in real-world transparent WDM optical networks.

Toward deployment of signalling-based approach for linear and non-linear impairment-aware lightpath setup in transparent optical networks

We propose signalling based approaches for handling linear and non-linear impairments and implement RSVP-TE extensions and related mechanisms on a commercially available GMPLS stack. The emulation results demonstrate that the proposed solutions are feasible and close to deployment.
