DICONET WORKPACKAGES

• Network architecture and support studies
  This work package aims at defining dynamic optical network architectures and analyzing these network architectures in order to support the activities in the other technical work packages.
• Development of a network planning tool for dynamic traffic/impairments
  This activity will study efficient optical layer impairment monitoring and will design and develop a dynamic network planning tool based on advanced physical layer modeling and impairment dissemination techniques.
• Development of Algorithms
  This work package will be devoted to the design, development and test of impairment aware routing and wavelength assignment algorithms (IA-RWA) for lowest cost routing while maintaining required quality of service.
• Network management and control protocol
  This activity aims at the implementation of the most appropriate control protocols extensions which are going to be used by the DICONET test-bed.
• Lab Experimentation, evaluation and testbed implementation
  Integration and testing of the developed protocol extensions in a test-bed for validation and performance evaluation
• Exploitation & Dissemination
  This activity aims at addressing the exploitation and dissemination of the developed modules.
