This document outlines a detailed procedure for metro network design, focusing on both inner and outer evaluations. It covers critical aspects such as network topology, traffic demand, and performance requirements. The process involves identifying critical paths through OSNR mapping, evaluating node matrices for light paths, and ensuring optimal dispersion and power maps. Additionally, it addresses the predefinition and updating of network parameters, such as data rates and channel counts, to meet the defined performance standards. This procedure aims to optimize network efficiency and reliability.

Inner Procedure Metro Network Design - Outer Evaluate - network topology - traffic demand - performance requirements It is assumed here, that the process is performed on a given network topology, i.e., given node locations, node spacing (incl. link loss, dispersion) Network segment specific, e.g., for the metro segment with various link loss parameters we assume to use a draft OSNR map to identify the critical paths. In general: critical path identification (5 disjoint shortest paths) is performed by setting the max. path length/OSNR so that 90% of all paths are covered. Evaluate node matrix to identify critical light paths:- longest / shortest path- maximum / minimum node count Predefine & update network parameters- data rate / channel count (depends on traffic demand)- FEC present(depends on distances / constraints, e.g. remove DCM ) For complex network segments the evaluation of all light paths might not be feasible Evaluate network performance(all possible / selected paths) Performance requirements fulfilled? No Yes Network design rules(e.g. modulation format, amplifier spacing, dispersion map, power map)
