Real-Time QoT Estimation Through SDN Control Plane Monitoring Evaluated in Mininet-Optical

Quality of Transmission (QoT) metrics are used to predict and evaluate optical transmission performance, and have received much attention due to recent interest in real-time software defined networking (SDN) control and the challenges posed by open, disaggregated optical systems. In this letter, we address the QoT-estimation (QoT-E) issue, by focusing on real-time operations, where a dynamic contr...
