Abstract
A computer-implemented method to increase capacity of an optical network based on overall excess margin in the optical network includes determining an objective function based on data associated with a plurality of optical signals in the optical network, each of the optical signals between modems in the optical network, wherein an input to the objective function comprises how much margin the optical signals have until Forward Error Correction (FEC) limits are reached; performing an optimization of the objective function based on changing a plurality of parameters of the optical signals; and causing changes to settings of a subset of the modems based on the performing to change the capacity of the optical network.
