Description

Cosmos test-bed provides a possibility to create and use optical networks of various topologies. An example of how an optical network could be configured and used is provided. A simple experiment on switching of optical paths is described.

Compute Nodes and ToR switch interfaces used

Interfaces on sw-da-co1:

Eth 1/1/1:1 (vlan 1066) srv1-co1 data1
Eth 1/1/66  (vlan 1066) 10g dwdm tunable (Calient 5.7.3)

Interfaces on sw-da-lg1:

Eth 1/1/1:1 (vlan 1033) srv1-lg1 data1
Eth 1/1/1:2 (vlan 1034) srv2-lg1 data1
Eth 1/1/33  (vlan 1033) 10g dwdm tunable (Calient 5.7.5)
Eth 1/1/34  (vlan 1034) 10g dwdm tunable (Calient 5.7.6)

Experiment Topology and Resources Required

Figure 1. Topology setup of the experiment.

This experiment demonstrates optical switching between the short (1-hop) path, between srv1-co1 and srv1-lg1, and the long (2-hop) path, between srv1-co1 and srv2-lg1. It represents changing of the light path in C-RAN when a "Client" wants to dynamically change its base-band processing location between a nearby "Edge Cloud" and a further away "Central Cloud".

This experiment uses 3 servers and 4 ROADM units from the bed.cosmos-lab.org domain:

srv1-co1.bed, srv1-lg1.bed, srv2-lg1.bed
rdm1-co1 (10.104.1.1), rdm2-co1 (10.104.1.2), rdm1-lg1 (10.104.2.1), rdm2-lg1 (10.104.2.2)

Setup for the ToR switches (da-sw-co1 and da-sw-lg1), 10G DWDM tunable sfp+ transceivers, and vlan:

(da-sw-co1) vlan 1066: Eth 1/1/1:1 (srv1-co1 data1);  Eth 1/1/66 (10g dwdm tunable);
(da-sw-lg1) vlan 1033: Eth 1/1/1:1 (srv1-lg1 data1);  Eth 1/1/33 (10g dwdm tunable);
(da-sw-lg1) vlan 1034: Eth 1/1/1:2 (srv2-lg1 data1);  Eth 1/1/34 (10g dwdm tunable);

Setting Up Optical Topology

Setting up an optical topology consists in connecting ROADMs accordingly to the needs of experiment. ROADMs need to be connected correctly to each other and to ToR switch. All interconnections are realized by Calient S320 Switch.

Fig.2 Physical Optical Interconnections.

Calient Switch S320 has ports physically connected to ROADMs, ToR, Prof. Zussman’s lab and 3 loopback connections. All ports are designated in the Fig.2 Physical Optical Interconnections.

In order to support the Experiment_1 logical connections and to realize emulate real distance between Edge Cloud an Central Cloud, one could choose to pass the optical signal through the loop of 22 km passing by 32 Avenue of the Americas, NYC; and organize Client port Connections as Next:

For the comb source:

ID	Ports Connection	Devices Connection	Comment

4	5.7.3↔1.1.1	transceiver_3 with ROADM1-CO1.port_2	Connecting transceiver3 with ROADM1-CO1 add/drop port 1
5	1.1.8→5.5.1	ROADM1-CO1.line_port to fiber_spool_1	Connecting ROADM1-CO1 line out to the 10 km fiber spool
6	5.5.2→1.1.8	fiber_spool_2 to ROADM1-CO1.line_port	Connecting the 10 km fiber spool to ROADM1-CO1 line in
7	5.5.1→1.4.8	fiber_spool_1 to ROADM1-LG1.line_port	Connecting the 10 km fiber spool to ROADM1-LG1 line in
8	1.4.8→5.5.2	ROADM1-LG1.line_port to fiber_spool_2	Connecting ROADM1-LG1 line out to the 10 km fiber spool
9	2.1.8→4.6.1	ROADM2-LG1.line_port to dark_fiber_1	Connecting ROADM2-LG1 line out to the 34 km dark fiber
10	4.6.2→2.1.8	dark_fiber_2 to ROADM2-LG1.line_port	Connecting the 34 km dark fiber to ROADM2-LG1 line in

ID	Ports Connection		Devices Connection		Comment
1	2.4.1↔5.7.5		ROADM1-LG1.port_2 with transceiver_5		Connecting ROADM1-LG1 add/drop port 2 to transceiver5 to emulate the connection to the edge cloud

For the long route:

ID	Ports Connection		Devices Connection		Comment
1	2.4.1↔5.7.6		ROADM2-CO1.port_2 with transceiver_6		Connecting ROADM2-CO1 add/drop port 2 to transceiver6 to emulate the connection to the center cloud

ROADMs Configuration

All of these configurations can be performed by Python scripts developed to work with the COSMOS test-bed. The Python commands send NETCONF commands to the ROADM.

Setting “Snake” Connection

Correct ROADM operation requires Line In port of a ROADM to always receive a light. That is why there is a dedicated transceiver (tengigabitethernet 1/33 on ToR) that sends light through all ROADMs by passing through loop-back connection on Calient S320 (port 5.5.1) and redirecting back, so the light is received on the same transceiver. This kind of connection is called “Snake”.

In order maintain this “Snake” for “Experiment_1” next connections form Table 1 must be in place: 1,3,5,6,8,9.

tengigabitethernet 1/33/1 on ToR configuration

Snake Interface (to passe through all ROADMs in loop): 60 (DWDM Channel C60) 1529,55 nm 196,00 Thz with frequency range [195.95,196.05] Thz
