When Less is More: Emerging Network-Wide Use Cases for Hollow-Core Fibers in Optical Networks [Invited]
Mëmëdhe Ibrahimi, Giovanni Simone Sticca, Angelo Ferrara +2
Hollow-Core Fiber (HCF) is emerging as a disruptive technology for next-generation optical networks, offering 30\% lower propagation latency than standard Single-Mode Fiber (SMF),…
Measurement-Device Placement in MDI-QKD Networks with Minimal Trusted Relays
Tianqu Luo, Ibrahim Arslantas, Sezin Ozturk +8
Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI-QKD) removes detector side-channel vulnerabilities by delegating measurements to an untrusted relay that, when shared b…
LLMs and Optical Networks: A Symbiotic Relationship
Mëmëdhe Ibrahimi, Qiaolun Zhang, Giovanni S. Sticca +3
This paper explores the emerging symbiosis between LLMs and optical networks. Massive LLMs require geo-distributed training, which demands advanced optical transport capabilities t…
Selective Placement of Hollow-Core Fibers for QKD and Classical Communication Coexistence
Giovanni Simone Sticca, Alessandro Gagliano, Memedhe Ibrahimi +3
We investigate the benefits of partially upgrading optical networks with hollow-core fibers for QKD-classical communication coexistence. Results show that upgrading 40% of links in…
Holoscope: Open and Lightweight Telescope & Honeypot Platform
Andrea Sordello, Marco Mellia, Idilio Drago +7
The complexity and scale of Internet attacks call for distributed, cooperative observatories capable of monitoring malicious traffic across diverse networks. Holoscope is an open,…
Vertical Federated Learning for Failure-Cause Identification in Disaggregated Microwave Networks
Fatih Temiz, Memedhe Ibrahimi, Francesco Musumeci +2
Machine Learning (ML) has proven to be a promising solution to provide novel scalable and efficient fault management solutions in modern 5G-and-beyond communication networks. In th…
Multi-Failure Localization in High-Degree ROADM-based Optical Networks using Rules-Informed Neural Networks
Ruikun Wang, Qiaolun Zhang, Jiawei Zhang +7
To accommodate ever-growing traffic, network operators are actively deploying high-degree reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs) to build large-capacity optical netw…
Shared-Protected Backup Paths Assignment with Mode Group Division Multiplexing in Optical Networks
Jiaheng Xiong, Qiaolun Zhang, Ruikun Wang +3
We evaluate the resource efficiency of Mode Group Division Multiplexing (MGDM) with shared path protection (SPP) in optical networks. On our case studies, SPP with MGDM obtains sig…
An Overview on Application of Machine Learning Techniques in Optical Networks
Francesco Musumeci, Cristina Rottondi, Avishek Nag +4
Today's telecommunication networks have become sources of enormous amounts of widely heterogeneous data. This information can be retrieved from network traffic traces, network alar…
