Abstract

  • REACTION targets the design and validation of a flexible
  • ptical network enabling software-controlled super-

channel transmission.

  • The focus is on:
  • 1. Advanced bandwidth variable transponder (BVT)

functionalities supporting multi-carrier transmission, adaptation of transmission parameters (mod. format, spectrum allocation, coding/FEC) and slice-ability

  • 2. Advanced control plane architecture and functionalities

including innovative two-level active stateful PCE including the BGP-LS advertising solution

  • 3. Advanced routing and spectrum assignment (RSA)

algorithms

Implemented control plane architecture

  • Active stateful front-end PCE, in charge of computing RSA and elastic

provisioning

  • Back-end PCE responsible for performing complex network operation s

(e.g., re-optimizations)

  • To provide the back-end PCE with updated network topology info, we

propose to rely on the North-Bound Distribution of Link-State and TE Information through BGP, known as BGP-LS.

IP/MPLS routers (Juniper M7i/M10, Cisco 7206);

  • traffic generator/analyzer,
  • 3 ROADMs and 3 flexi-grid WSS;
  • Optical terabit/s TX with coherent RX

– support connections to different destinations, each served by a sub-set of sub-carriers.

Slice-ability on different SBVT architectures

  • Sliceable BVT architecture can be implemented either with
  • 1. Array of N tunable lasers
  • 2. A single tunable multi-wavelength source (generated from 1 laser)
  • N lasers guarantee full and independent tunability of each sub-carrier

 no constraint s on RSA

  • Conversely, a MW source only supports contiguous frequencies

 RSA constraints

  • A MW source is expected to be to be cheaper (reducing the number of

lasers), with lower footprint and lower power consumption.

  • Moreover a MW source enables better frequency stability among sub-carriers

 less spectrum.
