NeTS-NBD: Physically Aware Agile Networking

物理感知敏捷网络pi: Brendan mumey这个研究项目考虑了基于约束的敏捷路由和波长分配（RWA）策略，以减轻影响下一代全光网络端到端的物理层损伤。正在开发的RWA方法考虑到瞬时性条件下不断变化的通信模式、资源可用性和底层物理层的行为，以最小化损害并确保实现服务质量（QoS）要求。影响端到端路径性能的物理层网络损伤包括开关瞬态、放大器增益波动和信道串扰。网络流量的时间和地理变化也会影响网络性能。利用蒙大拿州立大学的光网络试验台，正在设计和实施一个研究这种损伤和流量变化的累积效应的一般框架。这项工作需要建模、仿真和验证步骤的结合。基于这个新框架，最先进的物理感知RWA算法正在被设计、实现和测试。更广泛的影响：通过探索与新的应用驱动网络需求相一致的底层网络管理方法，本研究的结果将成为未来网络基础设施的重要组成部分。该项目将整合电气和计算机工程与计算机科学的教学和研究活动，将这两个学科的教师和学生聚集在一起，解决跨越这两个学科的系统级设计问题。项目团队将通过跨学科的高级设计课程和个人研究项目吸引本科生参与研究。密歇根州立大学已经建立了一些项目，让印第安人参与到科学和工程中来，这些项目将促进向少数民族的拓展。

Physically Aware Agile NetworkingPI: Brendan MumeyThis research project considers agile constraint-based routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) strategies to mitigate physical layer impairments that affect the end-to-end performance of next generation all-optical networks. The RWA methods being developed take into account changing traffic patterns, resource availability, and the behavior of the underlying physical layer under transient conditions to minimize impairments and assure that Quality of Service (QoS) requirements are achieved. Physical layer network impairments that affect end-to-end path performance include switching transients, amplifier gain fluctuations, and channel cross talk. Temporal and geographic variations in network traffic can also affect network performance. A general framework for studying the cumulative effects of such impairments and traffic variations is being designed and conducted using the Montana State University optical network testbed. This work requires a combination of modeling, simulation and validation steps. Based on this new framework, state-of-the-art physically aware RWA algorithms are being designed, implemented and tested.Broader Impact:The outcomes of this research will become an important component for future cyber infrastructure by exploring methods to manage the underlying network that are consistent with the new application-driven network demands. This project will integrate teaching and research activities in electrical and computer engineering with computer science, bringing together faculty and students from both disciplines to address system-level design issues spanning both disciplines. The project team will engage undergraduate students in the research through interdisciplinary senior design courses and individual research projects. Outreach to minorities will be facilitated through the well-established programs at MSU that engage Native Americans in the sciences and engineering.
