Cognitive optical network architecture in dynamic environments

Emerging network traffic requires a more agile network management and control system to deal with the dynamic network environments than today's networks use. The bursty and large data transactions introduced by new technological applications can cause both high costs and extreme congestion in networks. The prohibitive cost of massive over-provisioning will manifest as huge congestions during peak demand periods. The network management and control system must be able to sense the traffic changes and reconfigure in a timely manner (in tens of milliseconds instead of minutes or hours) to use network resources efficiently. We propose the use of cognitive techniques for fast and adaptive network management and control of future optical networks. The goal of this work is to provide timely network reconfigurations in response to dynamic traffic environments and prevent congestion from building up.
