Next generation optical network for Broadband in Europe

Objective

To achieve the strategic goal of broadband for all an appropriate optical core/metro network infrastructure is required to aggregate end-users communication traffic and ensure an end-to-end transport with the desired level of quality. The main goal of the IP NOBEL is to carry out analyses, feasibility studies and experimental validations of innovative network solutions and technologies for intelligent and flexible optical networks, thereby enabling broadband for all.

Specifically, the main objectives are: to define network architectures, evolutionary guidelines and a roadmap for core/metro optical transport networks towards intelligent data centric solutions (e.g.ASON/GMPLS); to identify main drivers for the evolution of core and metro optical networks supporting end-to-end broadband services and to derive technical requirements; to study efficient traffic/network engineering and resilience strategies in multi-layer/domain/service networks and interworking issues; to assess and describe social and techno-economic aspects regarding the deployment of network solutions and technologies for intelligent and flexible optical networks; to evaluate solutions for providing end-to-end QoS; to identify network architectures, concepts and solutions for advanced packet/burst switching; to propose simplified strategies for the end-to-end management and control of intra/inter-domain connections in multi-layers networks (e.g. IP overOptics); to find enhanced solutions and technologies for physical transmission in transparent optical networks; to identify the key functional requirements from the architectural, management, control and transmission viewpoints and translate them into specifications, feasibility studies and prototype realizations for multi-service/multi-layer nodes with flexible client and adaptable transport interfaces; to assess existing technologies, components and subsystems in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
