Abstract
With the ever-increasing traffic in WDM transport networks, the development of GMPLS (or multi-granular) transport networks becomes essential to avoid the cost explosion of OXCs. This paper addresses the optimal planning problem of the GMPLS transport network by (1) considering the whole flow hierarchy defined in GMPLS, (2) allowing the optical signal conversion at all granularity levels, and (3) imposing the optical reach constraint on the length of all-optical paths. We call this planning problem routing and multi-granular paths assignment (RMGPA). The objective of the problem is to minimize the total weighted port count. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model. Due to the computational complexity of the problem, the MILP optimization is carried out on small-sized planning problems. The solutions to the MILP model are used as valuable quality references for previously developed sub-optimum methods, which we have proposed in a previous work to solve large-sized planning problems in a reasonable amount of time.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
