IP Over Optical Transport Resiliency Implementation Guide

This guide details the implementation of IP over optical transport, focusing on achieving optimal resiliency and network utilization during real network failures. It outlines the use of Ciena's Navigator Network Control Suite (Navigator NCS), which facilitates multi-layer and multi-vendor network operations. The document explains how Navigator NCS integrates planning, provisioning, and assurance for service lifecycle operations through its graphical user interface and application programming interface. It emphasizes the importance of understanding traffic flow and optical resiliency strategies in building a robust solution. The guide also discusses Adaptive IP Apps, which provide real-time analytics for IP traffic and enable performance monitoring, anomaly detection, and alarm correlation. Additionally, it presents various models for optimizing IP traffic restoration during optical link failures, highlighting the significance of coordinated operations between the IP and optical layers. The document concludes with insights on leveraging advanced analytics for improved network control and resilience.
