Study Notes
All-Optical Networks (AON)
- Also known as fiber to the x (FTTx)
- Includes fiber to the site, building, and home
- Full-service areas and unified optical cable networks are foundational
- Coordinate 2B, 2C, and 2H services
- Unified Transport Network (UTN) provides high bandwidth, low latency, and multiple services
- Can be used for premium private lines, data center interconnect (DCI), IP links, and mobile network fronthaul
- IP integrated transport network features Flex-E and IPv6 Segment Routing (SRv6)
- Used for IP RAN private lines, broadband transport, and mobile backhaul
- Passive Optical Network (PON) enables full-service access
- Widely recognized for PON VPN, Internet private lines, regional networking, smart homes, video surveillance, and industrial control
- Used in public areas and buildings (harbors, campuses, hotels, airports, commercial buildings, train/bus stations)
- Software-defined networking (SDN) supports intelligent, on-demand bandwidth selection, clouds, value-added applications, and after-sales services
- Leverages differentiated competitive advantages of network operators
- Utilized in underlay mode for network control
Possible Attacks on Networks
- Broadly categorized into five areas
- Traffic Analysis Attack: Ciphertext length reveals plaintext length, allowing attackers to tap fibers and gather information
- Data Delay: Attackers intercept data for later use
- Spoofing: Attackers gain privileges, capabilities, and trust by impersonating privileged users or processes
- Includes masquerading and Trojan horse attacks
- Service Denial: Deprives users or organizations of services
All-Optical Network Attack Types
- Service Disruption Attack includes service denial and quality of service (QoS) degradation
- Methods: Fiber attacks, optical amplifier attacks
- Tapping attacks include eavesdropping and traffic analysis attacks
- Cross-Talk Attack Monitoring and Localization: Affects normal connections on the same wavelength
Monitoring Methods
- Power Detection: Records power increases or decreases with respect to expected values
- Optical Spectral Analyzers (OSAs): Display the spectrum of an optical signal
- Bit Error Rate Testers (BERTs): Compare received patterns with sent patterns
- Pilot tones: Travel along communication links
Robustness
- Ability of a system to withstand external perturbations
Evaluation Goals
- Clearly defining goals simplifies evaluation steps
- Goals are typically set by the person or company ordering the study
Target System
- Entity under test
POSIX Interface
- API used as a benchmark target and related to robustness parameters in input and stress testing
