Abstract:We propose a DRL-assisted approach for service provisioning in multi-band elastic optical networks. Our simulation environment uses an accurate QoT estimator based on the GN/EGN model. Results show that the proposed approach reduces request blocking by 50% compared with heuristics from the literature.
Abstract:We propose a cluster-based method to detect and locate eavesdropping events in optical line systems characterized by small power losses. Our findings indicate that detecting such subtle losses from eavesdropping can be accomplished solely through optical performance monitoring (OPM) data collected at the receiver. On the other hand, the localization of such events can be effectively achieved by leveraging in-line OPM data.
