Cisco Routed Optical Networking Automation
3): Jochen van Guyse and Pedro Do Vale Brites present a demo on routed optical networking (RON) and its automation. They discuss RON's benefits, simplifying architecture and reducing operational costs. Automation is crucial due to challenges like managing wavelengths across teams.
They introduce the hierarchical controller architecture facilitating RON automation, including top-level controllers and domain controllers for IP and optical networks.
Pedro demonstrates the system, showing easy IP link setup, optical network provisioning, and fault troubleshooting. The system aids operations teams with fault correlation, inventory management, proactive maintenance, and historical data analysis.
Designed to address inventory issues autonomously, it simplifies operations for network operations center personnel.
