Network costs report¶
This dashboard generates a comprehensive report detailing the costs associated with various network elements. This dashboard provides a detailed breakdown of both capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) related to the network's components.
The dashboard aggregates cost information from all network elements that have associated cost data, such as nodes, connections, and other infrastructure components. The report includes the total CAPEX, representing the one-time costs of network elements, and the total OPEX per year, reflecting the recurring costs necessary to maintain and operate the network.
In addition to providing these total costs, the dashboard categorizes costs by element type (e.g., node type) and by specific CAPEX and OPEX cost items. Each element type's report includes the total number of elements, the total CAPEX and OPEX for those elements, and details about individual elements, including their specific cost items.
The CAPEX section of the report categorizes capital costs by cost item types, detailing the number of cost items, their total cost, and specific details for each item. Similarly, the OPEX section categorizes operational costs, providing an annual cost breakdown for each type of operational cost.
This report is valuable for network planners and financial analysts as it provides a clear and organized view of where costs are concentrated in the network, enabling more informed decisions regarding budget allocations, cost optimizations, and long-term financial planning.

Optical spectrum status report¶
This dashboard generates a detailed report focusing on the optical spectrum status of the network. This dashboard provides comprehensive insights into various aspects of the network's optical infrastructure, helping network engineers and planners assess the performance, capacity, and potential issues related to the optical spectrum.
The dashboard includes information about the total number of transponders, ROADMs, unidirectional WDM links, optical amplifiers, optical line systems, OTUs, and ODUs in the network. It also provides metrics on the inter-ROADM diameter measured in hops, latency in milliseconds, and distance in kilometers.
The report offers detailed data on the total number of unidirectional OTSIs in the network, including their sum rates in Gbps, the number of OTSIs installed but not currently operational, and their total sum rate. It also includes statistics on OTSI length, latency, line rates, and bandwidth, covering minimum, maximum, and average values.
Additionally, the dashboard provides detailed per-element information for ROADMs, transponders, unidirectional WDM links, OTSIs, and site pair paths. This information includes data on individual ROADMs, transponders, and WDM links, such as their connections, spectral occupation, and the paths they traverse.
In summary, this dashboard is intended to offer a clear and detailed view of the current state of the optical spectrum, which is essential for identifying bottlenecks, optimizing resource allocation, and planning for network upgrades or expansions.

Estimated power consumption report¶
This report is crucial for understanding the energy requirements of the network, helping network engineers and planners make informed decisions about energy efficiency and cost management.
The dashboard provides a detailed breakdown of the power consumption for each type of network element and each type of power consumption item. It includes a summary of the total power consumption across the network, with detailed information on the power consumption of individual network elements and the specific items that contribute to their power usage.
The report begins by estimating the total power consumption of the network. This estimation is based on the power consumption data provided for each network element, such as nodes, routers, and other components that consume power. The dashboard categorizes the power consumption by element type (e.g., nodes, routers) and by the type of power consumption item (e.g., specific components within a node).
For each type of network element, the report provides the total number of elements, the total power consumption for that type, and a detailed breakdown of power consumption for each individual element. This breakdown includes the power consumption items within each element, providing a granular view of where power is being used.
Additionally, the report categorizes power consumption by source type, detailing the power consumption of various items across the network. This helps in identifying which components or systems are the most energy-intensive.
The power consumption values in the report are displayed in a user-defined unit, which can be selected based on the preferences or requirements of the user (e.g., watts, kilowatts). The dashboard includes functions to convert power consumption values between different units to ensure consistency and accuracy in the report.
In summary, this dashboard provides a comprehensive analysis of the power consumption within a network, offering insights into energy usage at both the macro and micro levels. This information is valuable for optimizing network design and operations to reduce energy consumption and associated costs.

Risk analysis dashboard¶
This dashboard provides insights into the network's reliability and helps users understand potential vulnerabilities. The main components of the dashboard are a summary of the network's risk profile, detailed risk information, and optional in-depth analysis of specific elements within the network.
The dashboard allows users to rerun risk analysis simulations, which are critical for evaluating the network's fault tolerance and availability under different scenarios. Users can also choose to perform a double failure analysis for more precise results and include detailed information about each Shared Risk Group (SRG) in the report.
The dashboard generates a comprehensive report that includes a summary of the network, highlighting key metrics such as the number of SRGs, simulations performed, and various availability metrics. It also provides detailed risk analysis information, which breaks down the network's risk by different SRG types and fault tolerance targets. For each network element, such as IP services, demands, and optical transport units (OTUs), the dashboard calculates and displays statistics on blocked traffic, latency violations, and overall availability.
If the user opts to include detailed SRG information, the dashboard will also present specific data for each SRG, showing how each element within the SRG contributes to the overall network risk. This includes the performance of IP services, multicast flows, VPNs, and optical elements within each SRG.
In summary, this dashboard class provides a powerful tool for network engineers to assess the risk and reliability of their telecommunications networks, allowing them to make informed decisions to improve network design and performance.

Warning panel¶
This panel allows users to configure and view warnings related to different elements in a network model. The dashboard categorizes warnings into four types: IP, Optical, VPN, and Other, which correspond to different types of network elements.
Users can customize the warnings they want to activate. This is done through a form that lists all available warnings, allowing users to select which warnings to apply to their network design. Each warning is associated with specific network elements, and some warnings may require additional parameters, such as thresholds, which can also be configured by the user.
The dashboard then generates a response based on the user's configuration. It applies the selected warnings to the elements in the current network design and produces a report that shows which elements passed the warning checks, which ones failed, and any exceptions that occurred during the process.
