Abstract

We present a network planning and operation tool, called Mantis, for designing the next generation optical networks, supporting both flex-grid and mixed line rate networks. Through Mantis, the user is able to define the network topology the traffic matrix, the CAPEX/OPEX parameters, setup basic configuration parameters, and use a library of algorithms to plan, operate, or evaluate an optical network of interest. Mantis is designed to be deployed either as a desktop application or as a cloud service. For its execution Mantis can utilize the services of the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) , however its modular architecture allows other cloud services to be adopted in the future with minimum effort. Using the cloud services Mantis can scale based on the user demands, executing fast and efficiently the scenarios requested. The included planning and operation algorithms range from routing, to equipment placement and to wavelength and spectrum allocation and others.
