  • Discovery and retrieval of device inventory.

Control and management of optical networks:

  • New Optical Controller component to manage configurations of Transceivers, ROADMs, and Multi-granular Optical Nodes.
  • New service handlers to interface with the new Optical Controller component.

Traffic forecasting capacities:

  • New component to forecast capacities on links and entire topologies.
  • Integration of forecaster component with path computation component to compute capacity-aware paths.

Interfacing with external systems through NBIs:

  • Enhanced validation of incoming requests through libyang.
  • New ETSI MEC Bandwidth Management API connector to accept requests from end-user applications.
