Abstract
In this thesis, we present the identification of methods and tools for the design and analysis of an Agile All-Photonic Network (AAPN). This thesis discusses the layered topology which comprises of a set of overlaid star/tree networks, with an optical core space switch at each of the star centers and hybrid photonic/electronic switches at the edges, and optionally, with Multiplexer/Selectors in between to concentrate traffic. Consequently, network cost is minimized while taking into consideration performance criteria such as delay and reliable traffic restoration upon network failure. A new mixed integer linear programming formulation is presented for core node placement and link connectivity to determine the near cost optimal designs. Both a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) and a Canadian Wide Area Network (WAN) with two-layer or three-layer network topological implementations have been tested. Network models and their performance were evaluated with a set of software tools and methodologies to design and dimension our vision of an AAPN.
