MCP-Enabled Agentic AI for Autonomous IPoDWDM Network Lifecycle Automation

Researchers have developed a new architecture using the Model Context Protocol to automate the lifecycle management of complex, multi-vendor optical network infrastructures. By integrating real-time telemetry and open-source simulation tools, this framework enables closed-loop, autonomous control of network services across different hardware providers. This approach aims to reduce the manual configuration traditionally required to manage multi-layer data transport networks.
