This project aims to optimize, using techniques and high-performance computing
architectures, the numerical simulation in WDM optical networks with complex
physical and logical topology, that nowadays they're frequently use approximate
analytical models to estimate the effects of the physical layer. We propose the
construction of a simulator to evaluate the optical network infrastructure for
data transport of high capacity, which reproduces the dynamic behavior of
traffic demands, taking into account the effects of the physical layer by means
of a numerical model incorporated for simulating signal propagation in optical
fibers.
