Abstract
This work presents the design and implementation of an optical transparent IP/WDM network testbed. The implemented software allows the characterization of the transport, control and management planes of the network. Furthermore, it was developed a graphic user network interface for the client/management relation in the optical network. We adopted a centralized the control and management planes, obtaining economy of resources and time performance. The transport plane physical model allows the simulation of transponders, amplifiers and OXCs. They are connected with the control and management plane through the use of UDP/IP protocol and using XML for supporting the information base. The control plane provides routing and protection in the event of data plane failures. The management plane has a functional structure based on fail management, on the network configuration program, on performance monitoring, on log of changes and on the access security system.
