GNPy API

REST API (experimental)

This repository extends GNPy with additional interfaces, allowing for more flexible control and interaction with its simulation engine. These interfaces can be used to integrate GNPy into software-defined networking (SDN) architectures or other external applications.

GNPy is an open-source Python-based library that models and evaluates the performance of optical networks. It is widely used for path computation, QoT (Quality of Transmission) estimation, and network planning.

🚀 Installation

Build from Source - Option 1

Clone the repository and install the package:

python3 setup.py install

or if you want to install it in a docker container:

docker docker build ./ -t gnpy-api

PiPy - Option 2

pip install gnpy-api

DockerHub - Option 3

Coming....

Quick Start

🧪 Usage - CLI

Start the REST API server:

python ./samples/rest_example.py

See the help for the REST API:

python ./samples/rest_example.py -h

Send example data to the REST API:

curl --location 'https://localhost:8080/api/v0.1/path-request' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data @gnpyapi/exampledata/planning_demand_example.json -k

🧪 Usage - Docker
