Functional Architecture for End-to-End Deterministic Networking with Software-Defined Optical Interconnect
This document defines the functional architecture of Deterministic Networking with Software-Defined Optical Interconnect that provides deterministic-QoS connections for NIC-to-NIC communication, leveraging site-to-site optical transport paths, primarily by Open APN as a foundation technology.
Shared Risk Link Group Fiber Identification with Fiber Sensing for Open APN PoC Reference
This Proof of Concept explores SOP-based fiber sensing as a non-intrusive method to identify Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLGs) by detecting correlated polarization changes. Using existing coherent transponders, it enables real-time hardware tagging of fibers, enhancing network resilience, redundancy validation, and operational efficiency without disrupting live traffic.
