​Network Architecture and Optical Projects

The challenges faced by NRENs and researchers from the Data Deluge are huge and potentially incredibly disruptive. The volume of data being generated in the latest research projects is many orders of magnitude greater than even five years ago. Existing network paradigms may not be able to cope with the anticipated changes to data transfer. Looking forward towards future generations of networking technologies, several of these projects study future networking systems in order to help NRENs understand the issues and plan solutions.

There are five Network Architecture and Optical projects, each listed below: 

​COFFEE: Coherent Optical system Field-trial For spectral Efficiency Enhancement

Participant: CNIT

​ICOF: International Clock Comparisons via Optical Fiber

Participants: Physikalisch-Technische Bundesnastalt (PTB); Observatoire de Paris (LNE-SYRTE); National Physical Laboratory (NPL)

​IRINA: Investigating Recursive InterNetwork Architecture as the next generation GÉANT and NREN network architecture

Participants: iMinds; TSSG; Nextworks; Fundació i2CAT

​​MOMoT: Multi-Domain Optical Modelling Tool

Participants: DTU; Gesellscaft fur Wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung Gottingen

​REACTION: Research and Experimental Assessment of Control plane archiTectures for In-Operation flexgrid Network re-optimization

Participants: CNIT; Universita Politechnica de Catalunya; Telefonica
