Abstract
Systems and methods include obtaining a processing graph having aggregated vertices and edges from a network graph representing an optical network, wherein one or more vertex and edge in the processing graph represents a grouping of vertices and edges from the network graph based on a given optical effect from a plurality of optical effects; and tracing the processing graph to perform a simulation of one or more optical effects of the plurality of optical effects. Prior to the obtaining, the systems and methods can include forming the network graph based on a topology of the optical network, wherein each vertex in the network graph represent an optical effect in a given component in the optical network and each edge represents propagation between components; tracing the network graph to determine a type and a sequence number; and forming the processing graph based on the traced network graph.
