WaveTunnel - Accurately Designing Deployable Optical Networks

Overview Network design tools are routinely used to design optical networks that can carry a set of demands at the least cost. While there are several planning tools in existence, they lack either algorithm quality, or usability, or operational effectiveness of the designed networks. In this paper, WaveTunnel, a customer-facing planning tool for designing Wave Division Multiplexed (WDM) networks is developed that addresses these issues. It includes detailed equipment modeling that leads to accurate cost models and novel algorithms for validating the designed network against the routing algorithms used for network provisioning, and selecting add-drop multiplexers versus cross connects. It offers simulation capabilities and works in conjunction with an operational network.
