Beyond Redundancy: Toward Agile Resilience in Optical Networks to Overcome Unpredictable Disasters
Toru Mano, Hideki Nishizawa, Takeo Sasai +9
Resilience in optical networks has traditionally relied on redundancy and pre-planned recovery strategies, both of which assume a certain level of disaster predictability. However,…
Optical Network Digital Twin -- Practical Use Cases and Architecture
Hideki Nishizawa, Toru Mano, Kazuya Anazawa +17
With the widespread adoption of AI, machine-to-machine communications are rapidly increasing, reshaping the requirements for optical networks. Recent advances in Gaussian noise mod…
Fast WDM provisioning with minimal probing: the first field experiments for DC exchanges
Hideki Nishizawa, Toru Mano, Thomas Ferreira De Lima +16
We propose an approach to estimate the end-to-end GSNR accurately in a short time when a data center interconnect (DCI) network operator receives a service request from users, not…
Dynamic optical path provisioning for alien access links: architecture, demonstration, and challenges
Hideki Nishizawa, Takeo Sasai, Takeru Inoue +6
With the spread of Data Center Interconnect (DCI) and local 5G, there is a growing need for dynamically established connections between customer locations through high-capacity opt…
Leveraging Digital Twin Technologies: All-Photonics Networks-as-a-Service for Data Center Xchange in the Era of AI [Invited Tutorial]
Hideki Nishizawa, Kazuya Anazawa, Tetsuro Inui +8
This paper presents a data center exchange (Data Center Xchange, DCX) architecture for all-photonics networks-as-a-service in distributed data center infrastructures, enabling the…
Semi-Automatic Line-System Provisioning with Integrated Physical-Parameter-Aware Methodology: Field Verification and Operational Feasibility
Hideki Nishizawa, Giacomo Borraccini, Takeo Sasai +17
We propose methods and an architecture to conduct measurements and optimize newly installed optical fiber line systems semi-automatically using integrated physics-aware technologie…
Experimental Evaluation of an SDN Controller for Open Optical-circuit-switched Networks
Kazuya Anazawa, Takeru Inoue, Toru Mano +12
Open optical networks have been considered to be important for cost-effectively building and operating the networks. Recently, the optical-circuit-switches (OCSes) have attracted i…
