Welcome to gnpy’s documentation!¶
gnpy is an open-source, community-developed library for building route planning and optimization tools in real-world mesh optical networks.
gnpy is:
- a sponsored project of the OOPT/PSE working group of the Telecom Infra Project.
- fully community-driven, fully open source library
- driven by a consortium of operators, vendors, and academic researchers
- intended for rapid development of production-grade route planning tools
- easily extensible to include custom network elements
- performant to the scale of real-world mesh optical networks
Documentation¶
The following pages are meant to describe specific implementation details and modeling assumptions behind gnpy.

- Goal is to build an end-to-end simulation environment which defines the network models of the optical device transfer functions and their parameters. This environment will provide validation of the optical performance requirements for the TIP OLS building blocks.
- The model may be approximate or complete depending on the network complexity. Each model shall be validated against the proposed network scenario.
- The environment must be able to process network models from multiple vendors, and also allow users to pick any implementation in an open source framework.
- The PSE will influence and benefit from the innovation of the DTC, API, and OLS working groups.
- The PSE represents a step along the journey towards multi-layer optimization.
