RESUMO

Optical wavelength converters (OWC) are devices that can reduce congestion and improve the efficiency of the next generation of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks. Currently, our research group is developing a prototype of this converter in the Kyatera Project funded by Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP). In this perspective, the objective of this work was to implement an open source software to dynamically manage the wavelength converter prototype in an all optical network. This task was performed in two phases. In the first one, the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) functionalities were utilized to define the device parameters that should be managed. After this, a management information base (MIB) was structured for the OWC. In the second phase, a SNMP agent was developed and implemented in order to allow the communication between network management and the OWC MIB. Both software programs were tested and worked as expected. The software programs could also be utilized in the communication between a central management and optical nodes that do not perform wavelength conversions or after some adjustments, to manage other all-optical devices. Therefore, this effort may contribute with other research groups or companies that need to evaluate new optical network technologies, such as routing wavelength assignment algorithms and the monitoring of signal quality. For those interested, an appendix fully describes the procedures for managing new devices.
