"An Integrated View on Dynamic Monitoring and Compensation for Optical Networks: From Management to Physical Layer";
Photonic Network Communications, 18 (2009), 2; 191 - 210.

A vertical perspective, ranging from manage- ment and routing to physical layer options, concerning dynamic network monitoring and compensation of impairments (M&C), is given. Feasibility, reliability, and performance improvements on reconfigurable transparent networks are expected to arise from the consolidated assessment of network management and control specifications, as a more accurate evaluation of available M&C techniques. In the network layer, physical parameters aware algorithms are foreseen to pursue reliable network performance. In the physical layer, some new M&C methods were developed and rating of the state-of-the-art reported in literature is given. Optical monitoring implementation and viability is discussed.
