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.
