Project ALLEGRO: Performance Monitoring and Telemetry in Optical Networks

As part of the ALLEGRO platform, we’re pushing the boundaries of network intelligence with advanced Performance Monitoring and Telemetry systems. This component is crucial for collecting, processing, and aggregating data from the physical layer—enabling real-time visibility and insights into network health.

🔍 What we monitor:

  • Optical power levels
  • OSNR (Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio)
  • Transponder operational parameters
  • Device status
  • Full network topology as telemetry data

📡 How we do it:
We’ve integrated modern telemetry protocols including:

  • gRPC, NETCONF/YANG, and RESTCONF
  • REST APIs to interface with devices like Facebook Voyager and ADVA Teraflex
  • HTTP to communicate with EDFA web services

These capabilities empower us to not only monitor network performance but also to anticipate issues and enable intelligent decision-making across the optical infrastructure.

This is just one of many innovations being developed in ALLEGRO to support future-proof, high-performance optical networks. 🌐💡
