Element management for the LEVERAGE trial: Deliverable DWP341

A zipped version of this document can be downloaded here.

Abstract :
This deliverable is divided into two very distinct parts. The first one contains the description of a first implementation of a management system for the Ascom optical ring network to be installed at the site of Cambridge; whereas the second one discusses some issues concerning traffic management with respect to Ascom’s access nodes.
