From Optical Performance Monitoring to Optical Network Management: Research Progress and Challenges

Overview Optical Performance Monitoring (OPM) and Optical Network Management (ONM) are essential in building a reliable, high-capacity, and service-differentiation enabled all-optical network. Early research efforts in OPM focused primarily on achieving the desired monitoring functionality. However, the slow commercial deployment of OPM suggests that several problems including cost-effectiveness and interactions with higher control layers have yet to be resolved. This paper first provides a broad review of some traditional OPM techniques, and then examines the recent trend of multiple-parameter simultaneous monitoring as a means to achieve more cost-effective OPM options. Finally, research efforts that relate OPM to high-layer ONM are reviewed.
