Abstract

Connections established in optical fiber networks should comply with Quality of Transmission (QoT) requirements. Hence, tools to predict the QoT of those connections, before establishing them, are required. In this paper, we propose a cognitive QoT estimator, based on Case-Based Reasoning (CBR), which achieves more than 98% successful classifications of optical connections into high or low QoT categories, and is much faster for on-line operation (around three orders of magnitude) than an existing approach. Moreover, we also evaluate the performance of two algorithms to determine the relevance of the attributes of the cases which are stored in the knowledge base of the CBR system.
