GN-model based automatic network configuration and optimization
Step 1: Develop network auto-configuration based on GN model. Consider the link distance, fiber type, span loss, total channel allocation and channel number, to configure EDFA gains, launch power
Step 2: Develop a network automation tool to setup the link automatically. Configure EDFAs, Polaris Switches, and WSSes.
Step 3: Final Demonstration over NDFIS.
