Emergency OPM Recreation and Telemetry for Disaster Recovery in Optical Networks

Abstract

Optical performance monitoring (OPM) and the corresponding telemetry systems play an important role in modern optical transport networks based on software-defined networking (SDN). There have been extensive studies and standardization activities to build high-speed and high-accuracy OPM/telemetry systems that can ensure sufficient monitoring data for effective network control and management. However, current solutions for OPM/telemetry assume that control and management planes (C/M-plane) always provide sufficient bandwidth (BW) to deliver telemetry data. Unfortunately, in the event of several concurrent network failures (e.g., following a large-scale disaster), C/M-plane networks can become heavily degraded and/or unstable, and even experience isolation of some of their parts. Under such circumstances, the existing OPM systems would hardly function. To enhance resiliency and to ensure the quick recovery of OPM/telemetry in case of disaster, we propose an approach for quick recreation of OPM and for achieving robust telemetry based on OpenConfig YANG. Our proposal addresses three key problems: (1) how to quickly recreate the lost OPM capability, (2) how to address the mismatch between the high data rate of OPM and the low BW in the C/M-plane network, and (3) how to flexibly reconfigure the telemetry system to be adaptive to sudden BW changes in the C/M-plane network. We implement a testbed and experimentally demonstrate that our proposal can tolerate low post-disaster bandwidth and can adapt the telemetry system following the changing conditions of the C/M-plane network.
