SimEON

About SimEON

SimEON is capable of foresee the operational status of elastic optical networks, what constitutes an important information to their project, both in monetary and in operational aspects.

In its latest version, the physical impairments considered by SimEON are:

• ASE (Amplified Spontaneous Emission) Noise due to EDFA (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers) Fibers
• Filter Imperfection
• Attenuation in the Optical Fiber
• Losses in Optical Devices

In relation to routing algorithms, SimEON is currently capable of using the following ones:

• Minimum Hops (MH)
• Shortest Path (SP)
• Length and Occupation Routing (LOR)
• Power Series Routing (PSR)

In relation to spectrum assignment algorithms, SimEON is currently capable of using the following ones:

• First Fit (FF)
• Exact Fit (EF)
• Random Fit (RF)
• Best Fit (BF)
• Most Used (MU)
• Least Used (LU)

It is a powerful tool in the area of elastic optical networks. It can work as basis to the development of routing, spectrum assignment, regenerator assignment and regenerator placement algorithms, and to analyze the impact of several parameters over the network’s performance.
