Abstract:
A significant interest recently sprouted towards describing a production computer network in a machine-readable way. Most of the effort has, however, so far focused on providing an accurate description starting at the L2/L3 of the ISO/OSI model. Such an approach cannot accommodate advanced applications, such as accurate transfer of ultra-stable frequency signal. In this work we aim at outlining possible ways of extending the existing network models towards describing the photonic properties of the contemporary networks. When a network model allows for an accurate description of the photonic substrate, it becomes suitable for automated verification of critical properties which are required by emerging network users.
