Overview

Why use IP/Optical Coordination?

IP/Optical Coordination enables the discovery and management of cross-domain links between IP and optical networks. It realizes a fine-grained, multi-layer correlation of topology properties such as Shared Risk Groups (SRG) and latency to improve the IP service performance and resiliency. The data can be manually synchronized with other NSP functions, thereby achieving full integration.

WS-NOC support

IP/Optical Coordination provides integration with external optical controller WaveSuite Network Operations Center and Resource Controller (WS-NOC/WS-RC), and Open Networking Forum T-API. Integration provides features such as optical service and link discovery, cross-domain link discovery, and topology retrieval.

Note: In shared-mode deployments, WS-NOC:

• does not support multiple interfaces to segregate traffic for client, internal, and mediation communication

• does not support IPv6

Fault management support

NSP provides fault management support for IP/Optical Coordination by displaying network alarms on optical NEs and objects. See the NSP Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

IP/Optical Coordination API support

IP/Optical Coordination functions are available for OSS using programmable APIs. For general information about developer support, visit the Nokia Network Developer Portal at https://network.developer.nokia.com/api-documentation.

For specific information about the REST APIs for IP/Optical Coordination, append /sdn/doc to the server URL. For example: https://server-ip:8543/sdn/doc.
