-
-Get Started!
-------------
-
-Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up `gnpy` for local development.
-
-1. Fork the `gnpy` repo on GitHub.
-2. Clone your fork locally::
-
-    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/gnpy.git
-
-3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development::
-
-    $ mkvirtualenv gnpy
-    $ cd gnpy/
-    $ python setup.py develop
-
-4. Create a branch for local development::
-
-    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
-
-   Now you can make your changes locally.
-
-5. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox::
-
-    $ flake8 gnpy tests
-    $ python setup.py test or py.test
-    $ tox
-
-   To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
-
-6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub::
-
-    $ git add .
-    $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
-    $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
-
-7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
-
-Pull Request Guidelines
------------------------
-
-Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:
-
-1. The pull request should include tests.
-2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put
-   your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the
-   feature to the list in README.rst.
-3. The pull request should work for Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, and for PyPy. Check
-   https://travis-ci.org/<TBD>/gnpy/pull_requests
-   and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

+
+**`gnpy` is an open-source, community-developed library for building route

+
+`gnpy <http://github.com/telecominfraproject/oopt-gnpy>`__ is:
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+- a sponsored project of the `OOPT/PSE <https://telecominfraproject.com/open-optical-packet-transport/>`_ working group of the `Telecom Infra Project <http://telecominfraproject.com>`_
+- fully community-driven, fully open source library
+- driven by a consortium of operators, vendors, and academic researchers
+- intended for rapid development of production-grade route planning tools
+- easily extensible to include custom network elements
+- performant to the scale of real-world mesh optical networks
+
+Documentation: https://gnpy.readthedocs.io
+
+Get In Touch
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are `weekly calls <https://telecominfraproject.workplace.com/events/702894886867547/>`__ about our progress.
+Newcomers, users and telecom operators are especially welcome there.
+We encourage all interested people outside the TIP to `join the project <https://telecominfraproject.com/apply-for-membership/>`__.
+
+How to Install
+--------------
+
+Install either via `Docker <docs/install.rst#install-docker>`__, or as a `Python package <docs/install.rst#install-pip>`__.
+
+Instructions for First Use
+--------------------------
+
+``gnpy`` is a library for building route planning and optimization tools.
+
+It ships with a number of example programs. Release versions will ship with
+fully-functional programs.
+
+    **Note**: *If you are a network operator or involved in route planning and
+    optimization for your organization, please contact project maintainer Jan
+    Kundrát <jan.kundrat@telecominfraproject.com>. gnpy is looking for users with
+    specific, delineated use cases to drive requirements for future
+    development.*
+
+This example demonstrates how GNPy can be used to check the expected SNR at the end of the line by varying the channel input power:

+`gnpy/example-data/edfa_example_network.json <gnpy/example-data/edfa_example_network.json>`_
+
+You can specify a different network at the command line as follows. For
+example, to use the CORONET Global network defined in
+`gnpy/example-data/CORONET_Global_Topology.json <gnpy/example-data/CORONET_Global_Topology.json>`_:
+
+.. code-block:: shell-session
+
+    $ gnpy-transmission-example $(gnpy-example-data)/CORONET_Global_Topology.json
+
+It is also possible to use an Excel file input (for example
+`gnpy/example-data/CORONET_Global_Topology.xlsx <gnpy/example-data/CORONET_Global_Topology.xlsx>`_).
+The Excel file will be processed into a JSON file with the same prefix.
+Further details about the Excel data structure are available `in the documentation <docs/excel.rst>`__.
+
+The main transmission example will calculate the average signal OSNR and SNR
+across network elements (transceiver, ROADMs, fibers, and amplifiers)
+between two transceivers selected by the user. Additional details are provided by doing ``gnpy-transmission-example -h``. (By default, for the CORONET Global
+network, it will show the transmission of spectral information between Abilene and Albany)
+
+This script calculates the average signal OSNR = |OSNR| and SNR = |SNR|.
+
+.. |OSNR| replace:: P\ :sub:`ch`\ /P\ :sub:`ase`
+.. |SNR| replace:: P\ :sub:`ch`\ /(P\ :sub:`nli`\ +\ P\ :sub:`ase`)
+
+|Pase| is the amplified spontaneous emission noise, and |Pnli| the non-linear
+interference noise.
+
+.. |Pase| replace:: P\ :sub:`ase`
+.. |Pnli| replace:: P\ :sub:`nli`
+
+Further Instructions for Use
+----------------------------
+
+Simulations are driven by a set of `JSON <docs/json.rst>`__ or `XLS <docs/excel.rst>`__ files.
+
+The ``gnpy-transmission-example`` script propagates a spectrum of channels at 32 Gbaud, 50 GHz spacing and 0 dBm/channel. 
+Launch power can be overridden by using the ``--power`` argument.
+Spectrum information is not yet parametrized but can be modified directly in the ``eqpt_config.json`` (via the ``SpectralInformation`` -SI- structure) to accommodate any baud rate or spacing.
+The number of channel is computed based on ``spacing`` and ``f_min``, ``f_max`` values.
+
+An experimental support for Raman amplification is available:
+
+.. code-block:: shell-session
+
+     $ gnpy-transmission-example \
+       $(gnpy-example-data)/raman_edfa_example_network.json \
+       --sim $(gnpy-example-data)/sim_params.json --show-channels
+
+Configuration of Raman pumps (their frequencies, power and pumping direction) is done via the `RamanFiber element in the network topology <gnpy/example-data/raman_edfa_example_network.json>`_.
+General numeric parameters for simulaiton control are provided in the `gnpy/example-data/sim_params.json <gnpy/example-data/sim_params.json>`_.
+
+Use ``gnpy-path-request`` to request several paths at once:
+
+.. code-block:: shell-session
+
+     $ cd $(gnpy-example-data)
+     $ gnpy-path-request -o output_file.json \
+       meshTopologyExampleV2.xls meshTopologyExampleV2_services.json
+
+This program operates on a network topology (`JSON <docs/json.rst>`__ or `Excel <docs/excel.rst>`__ format), processing the list of service requests (JSON or XLS again).
+The service requests and reply formats are based on the `draft-ietf-teas-yang-path-computation-01 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-teas-yang-path-computation-01>`__ with custom extensions (e.g., for transponder modes).
+An example of the JSON input is provided in file `service-template.json`, while results are shown in `path_result_template.json`.
+
+Important note: ``gnpy-path-request`` is not a network dimensionning tool: each service does not reserve spectrum, or occupy ressources such as transponders. It only computes path feasibility assuming the spectrum (between defined frequencies) is loaded with "nb of channels" spaced by "spacing" values as specified in the system parameters input in the service file, each cannel having the same characteristics in terms of baudrate, format,... as the service transponder. The transceiver element acts as a "logical starting/stopping point" for the spectral information propagation. At that point it is not meant to represent the capacity of add drop ports.
+As a result transponder type is not part of the network info. it is related to the list of services requests.
+
+The current version includes a spectrum assigment features that enables to compute a candidate spectrum assignment for each service based on a first fit policy. Spectrum is assigned based on service specified spacing value, path_bandwidth value and selected mode for the transceiver. This spectrum assignment includes a basic capacity planning capability so that the spectrum resource is limited by the frequency min and max values defined for the links. If the requested services reach the link spectrum capacity, additional services feasibility are computed but marked as blocked due to spectrum reason.
+
+REST API (experimental)
+-----------------------
+``gnpy`` provides an experimental api for requesting several paths at once. It is based on Flask server.
+You can run it through command line or Docker.
+
+.. code-block:: shell-session
+
+     $ gnpy-rest
+
+.. code-block:: shell-session
+
+    $ docker run -p 8080:8080 -it emmanuelledelfour/gnpy-experimental:candi-1.0 gnpy-rest
+
+When starting the api server will aks for an encryption/decryption key. This key i used to encrypt equipment file when using /api/v1/equipments endpoint.
+This key is a Fernet key and can be generated this way:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
+Fernet.generate_key()
 
 
-.. image:: https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/gnpy.svg
-        :target: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gnpy
+After typing the key, you can detach the container by typing ^P^Q.
+After starting the api server, you can launch a request

+Project Background
+------------------
 
+Data Centers are built upon interchangeable, highly standardized node and
+network architectures rather than a sum of isolated solutions. This also
+translates to optical networking. It leads to a push in enabling multi-vendor
+optical network by disaggregating HW and SW functions and focusing on
+interoperability. In this paradigm, the burden of responsibility for ensuring
+the performance of such disaggregated open optical systems falls on the
+operators. Consequently, operators and vendors are collaborating in defining
+control models that can be readily used by off-the-shelf controllers. However,
+node and network models are only part of the answer. To take reasonable
+decisions, controllers need to incorporate logic to simulate and assess optical
+performance. Hence, a vendor-independent optical quality estimator is required.
+Given its vendor-agnostic nature, such an estimator needs to be driven by a
+consortium of operators, system and component suppliers.
+
+Founded in February 2016, the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) is an
+engineering-focused initiative which is operator driven, but features
+collaboration across operators, suppliers, developers, integrators, and
+startups with the goal of disaggregating the traditional network deployment
+approach. The group’s ultimate goal is to help provide better connectivity for
+communities all over the world as more people come on-line and demand more
+bandwidth- intensive experiences like video, virtual reality and augmented
+reality.
+
+Within TIP, the Open Optical Packet Transport (OOPT) project group is chartered
+with unbundling monolithic packet-optical network technologies in order to
+unlock innovation and support new, more flexible connectivity paradigms.
+
+The key to unbundling is the ability to accurately plan and predict the
+performance of optical line systems based on an accurate simulation of optical
+parameters. Under that OOPT umbrella, the Physical Simulation Environment (PSE)
+working group set out to disrupt the planning landscape by providing an open
+source simulation model which can be used freely across multiple vendor
+implementations.

+TIP OOPT/PSE & PSE WG Charter
+-----------------------------
+
+We believe that openly sharing ideas, specifications, and other intellectual
+property is the key to maximizing innovation and reducing complexity
+
+TIP OOPT/PSE's goal is to build an end-to-end simulation environment which
+defines the network models of the optical device transfer functions and their
+parameters.  This environment will provide validation of the optical
+performance requirements for the TIP OLS building blocks.
+
+- The model may be approximate or complete depending on the network complexity.
+  Each model shall be validated against the proposed network scenario.
+- The environment must be able to process network models from multiple vendors,
+  and also allow users to pick any implementation in an open source framework.
+- The PSE will influence and benefit from the innovation of the DTC, API, and
+  OLS working groups.
+- The PSE represents a step along the journey towards multi-layer optimization.

+Excel (XLS, XLSX) input files
+=============================
+
+``gnpy-transmission-example`` gives the possibility to use an excel input file instead of a json file. The program then will generate the corresponding json file for you.
+
+The file named 'meshTopologyExampleV2.xls' is an example.
+
+In order to work the excel file MUST contain at least 2 sheets:
+
+- Nodes
+- Links
+
+(In progress) The File MAY contain an additional sheet:
+
+- Eqt
+- Service
+
+.. _excel-nodes-sheet:
+
+Nodes sheet
+-----------
+
+Nodes sheet contains nine columns.
+Each line represents a 'node' (ROADM site or an in line amplifier site ILA or a Fused)::
+
+  City (Mandatory) ; State ; Country ; Region ; Latitude ; Longitude ; Type
+
+- **City** is used for the name of a node of the graph. It accepts letters, numbers,underscore,dash, blank... (not exhaustive). The user may want to avoid commas for future CSV exports.
+
+   **City name MUST be unique** 
+
+- **Type** is not mandatory. 
+
+  - If not filled, it will be interpreted as an 'ILA' site if node degree is 2 and as a ROADM otherwise.
+  - If filled, it can take "ROADM", "FUSED" or "ILA" values. If another string is used, it will be considered as not filled. FUSED means that ingress and egress spans will be fused together.  
+
+- *State*, *Country*, *Region* are not mandatory.
+  "Region" is a holdover from the CORONET topology reference file `CORONET_Global_Topology.xlsx <gnpy/example-data/CORONET_Global_Topology.xlsx>`_. CORONET separates its network into geographical regions (Europe, Asia, Continental US.) This information is not used by gnpy.
+
+- *Longitude*, *Latitude* are not mandatory. If filled they should contain numbers.
+
+- **Booster_restriction** and **Preamp_restriction** are not mandatory.
+  If used, they must contain one or several amplifier type_variety names separated by ' | '. This information is used to restrict types of amplifiers used in a ROADM node during autodesign. If a ROADM booster or preamp is already specified in the Eqpt sheet , the field is ignored. The field is also ignored if the node is not a ROADM node.
+
+**There MUST NOT be empty line(s) between two nodes lines**
+
+
+.. _excel-links-sheet:
+
+Links sheet
+-----------
+
+Links sheet must contain sixteen columns::
+
+                   <--           east cable from a to z                                   --> <--                  west from z to                                   -->
+   NodeA ; NodeZ ; Distance km ; Fiber type ; Lineic att ; Con_in ; Con_out ; PMD ; Cable Id ; Distance km ; Fiber type ; Lineic att ; Con_in ; Con_out ; PMD ; Cable Id
+
+
+Links sheets MUST contain all links between nodes defined in Nodes sheet.
+Each line represents a 'bidir link' between two nodes. The two directions are represented on a single line with "east cable from a to z" fields and "west from z to a" fields. Values for 'a to z' may be different from values from 'z to a'. 
+Since both direction of a bidir 'a-z' link are described on the same line (east and west), 'z to a' direction MUST NOT be repeated in a different line. If repeated, it will generate another parrallel bidir link between the same end nodes.
+
+
+Parameters for "east cable from a to z" and "west from z to a" are detailed in 2x7 columns. If not filled, "west from z to a" is copied from "east cable from a to z".
+
+For example, a line filled with::
+
+  node6 ; node3 ; 80 ; SSMF ; 0.2 ; 0.5 ; 0.5 ; 0.1 ; cableB ;  ;  ; 0.21 ; 0.2 ;  ;  ;  
+
+will generate a unidir fiber span from node6 to node3 with::
+ 
+  [node6 node3 80 SSMF 0.2 0.5 0.5 0.1 cableB] 
+
+and a fiber span from node3 to node6::
+
+ [node6 node3 80 SSMF 0.21 0.2 0.5 0.1 cableB] attributes. 
+
+- **NodeA** and **NodeZ** are Mandatory. 
+  They are the two endpoints of the link. They MUST contain a node name from the **City** names listed in Nodes sheet.
+
+- **Distance km** is not mandatory. 
+  It is the link length.
+
+  - If filled it MUST contain numbers. If empty it is replaced by a default "80" km value. 
+  - If value is below 150 km, it is considered as a single (bidirectional) fiber span.
+  - If value is over 150 km the `gnpy-transmission-example`` program will automatically suppose that intermediate span description are required and will generate fiber spans elements with "_1","_2", ... trailing strings which are not visible in the json output. The reason for the splitting is that current edfa usually do not support large span loss. The current assumption is that links larger than 150km will require intermediate amplification. This value will be revisited when Raman amplification is added”
+
+- **Fiber type** is not mandatory. 
+
+  If filled it must contain types listed in `eqpt_config.json <gnpy/example-data/eqpt_config.json>`_ in "Fiber" list "type_variety".
+  If not filled it takes "SSMF" as default value.
+
+- **Lineic att** is not mandatory. 
+
+  It is the lineic attenuation expressed in dB/km.
+  If filled it must contain positive numbers.
+  If not filled it takes "0.2" dB/km value
+
+- *Con_in*, *Con_out* are not mandatory. 
+
+  They are the connector loss in dB at ingress and egress of the fiber spans.
+  If filled they must contain positive numbers.
+  If not filled they take "0.5" dB default value.
+
+- *PMD* is not mandatory and and is not used yet. 
+
+  It is the PMD value of the link in ps.
+  If filled they must contain positive numbers.
+  If not filled, it takes "0.1" ps value.
+
+- *Cable Id* is not mandatory. 
+  If filled they must contain strings with the same constraint as "City" names. Its value is used to differenate links having the same end points. In this case different Id should be used. Cable Ids are not meant to be unique in general.

+
+Eqpt sheet 
+----------
+
+Eqt sheet is optional. It lists the amplifiers types and characteristics on each degree of the *Node A* line.
+Eqpt sheet must contain twelve columns::
+
+                   <--           east cable from a to z                  --> <--        west from z to a                          -->
+  Node A ; Node Z ; amp type ; att_in ; amp gain ; tilt ; att_out ; delta_p ; amp type ; att_in ; amp gain ; tilt ; att_out ; delta_p
+
+If the sheet is present, it MUST have as many lines as egress directions of ROADMs defined in Links Sheet. 
+
+For example, consider the following list of links (A,B and C being a ROADM and amp# ILAs)
+
+::
+
+  A    - amp1
+  amp1 - amp2
+  Amp2 - B
+  A    - amp3
+  amp3 - C
+
+then Eqpt sheet should contain:
+  - one line for each ILAs: amp1, amp2, amp3 
+  - one line for each degree 1 ROADMs B and C  
+  - two lines for ROADM A  which is a degree 2 ROADM 
+
+::
+
+  A    - amp1
+  amp1 - amp2
+  Amp2 - B
+  A    - amp3
+  amp3 - C
+  B    - amp2
+  C    - amp3
+
+
+In case you already have filled Nodes and Links sheets `create_eqpt_sheet.py <gnpy/example-data/create_eqpt_sheet.py>`_  can be used to automatically create a template for the mandatory entries of the list.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    $ cd $(gnpy-example-data)
+    $ python create_eqpt_sheet.py meshTopologyExampleV2.xls
+
+This generates a text file meshTopologyExampleV2_eqt_sheet.txt  whose content can be directly copied into the Eqt sheet of the excel file. The user then can fill the values in the rest of the columns.
+
+
+- **Node A** is mandatory. It is the name of the node (as listed in Nodes sheet).
+  If Node A is a 'ROADM' (Type attribute in sheet Node), its number of occurence must be equal to its degree.
+  If Node A is an 'ILA' it should appear only once.
+
+- **Node Z** is mandatory. It is the egress direction from the *Node A* site. Multiple Links between the same Node A and NodeZ is not supported.
+
+- **amp type** is not mandatory. 
+  If filled it must contain types listed in `eqpt_config.json <gnpy/example-data/eqpt_config.json>`_ in "Edfa" list "type_variety".
+  If not filled it takes "std_medium_gain" as default value.
+  If filled with fused, a fused element with 0.0 dB loss will be placed instead of an amplifier. This might be used to avoid booster amplifier on a ROADM direction.
+
+- **amp_gain** is not mandatory. It is the value to be set on the amplifier (in dB).
+  If not filled, it will be determined with design rules in the convert.py file.
+  If filled, it must contain positive numbers.
+
+- *att_in* and *att_out* are not mandatory and are not used yet. They are the value of the attenuator at input and output of amplifier (in dB).
+  If filled they must contain positive numbers.
+
+- *tilt* --TODO--
+
+- **delta_p**, in dBm,  is not mandatory. If filled it is used to set the output target power per channel at the output of the amplifier, if power_mode is True. The output power is then set to power_dbm + delta_power.
+
+# to be completed #

+
+.. _excel-service-sheet:
+
+Service sheet 
+-------------
+
+Service sheet is optional. It lists the services for which path and feasibility must be computed with ``gnpy-path_request``.
+
+Service sheet must contain 11 columns::  
+
+   route id ; Source ; Destination ; TRX type ; Mode ; System: spacing ; System: input power (dBm) ; System: nb of channels ;  routing: disjoint from ; routing: path ; routing: is loose?
+
+- **route id** is mandatory. It must be unique. It is the identifier of the request. It can be an integer or a string (do not  use blank or dash or coma)
+
+- **Source** is mandatory. It is the name of the source node (as listed in Nodes sheet). Source MUST be a ROADM node. (TODO: relax this and accept trx entries)
+
+- **Destination** is mandatory. It is the name of the destination node (as listed in Nodes sheet). Source MUST be a ROADM node. (TODO: relax this and accept trx entries)
+
+- **TRX type** is mandatory. They are the variety type and selected mode of the transceiver to be used for the propagation simulation. These modes MUST be defined in the equipment library. The format of the mode is used as the name of the mode. (TODO: maybe add another  mode id on Transceiver library ?). In particular the mode selection defines the channel baudrate to be used for the propagation simulation.
+
+- **mode** is optional. If not specified, the program will search for the mode of the defined transponder with the highest baudrate fitting within the spacing value. 
+
+- **System: spacing** is mandatory. Spacing is the channel spacing defined in GHz difined for the feasibility propagation simulation, assuming system full load.
+
+- **System: input power (dBm) ; System: nb of channels** are optional input defining the system parameters for the propagation simulation.
+
+  - input power is the channel optical input power in dBm
+  - nb of channels is the number of channels to be used for the simulation.
+
+- **routing: disjoint from ; routing: path ; routing: is loose?** are optional.
+
+  - disjoint from: identifies the requests from which this request must be disjoint. If filled it must contain request ids separated by ' | ' 
+  - path: is the set of ROADM nodes that must be used by the path. It must contain the list of ROADM names that the path must cross. TODO : only ROADM nodes are accepted in this release. Relax this with any type of nodes. If filled it must contain ROADM ids separated by ' | '. Exact names are required. 
+  - is loose?  'no' value means that the list of nodes should be strictly followed, while any other value means that the constraint may be relaxed if the node is not reachable. 
+
+- **path bandwidth** is mandatory. It is the amount of capacity required between source and destination in Gbit/s. Value should be positive (non zero). It is used to compute the amount of required spectrum for the service.

+Installing GNPy
+---------------
+
+There are several methods on how to obtain GNPy.
+The easiest option for a non-developer is probably going via our :ref:`Docker images<install-docker>`.
+Developers are encouraged to install the :ref:`Python package in the same way as any other Python package<install-pip>`.
+Note that this needs a :ref:`working installation of Python<install-python>`, for example :ref:`via Anaconda<install-anaconda>`.
+
+.. _install-docker:
+
+Using prebuilt Docker images
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Our `Docker images <https://hub.docker.com/r/telecominfraproject/oopt-gnpy>`_ contain everything needed to run all examples from this guide.
+Docker transparently fetches the image over the network upon first use.
+On Linux and Mac, run:
+
+
+.. code-block:: shell-session
+
+    $ docker run -it --rm --volume $(pwd):/shared telecominfraproject/oopt-gnpy
+    root@bea050f186f7:/shared/example-data#
+
+On Windows, launch from Powershell as:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    PS C:\> docker run -it --rm --volume ${PWD}:/shared telecominfraproject/oopt-gnpy
+    root@89784e577d44:/shared/example-data#
+
+In both cases, a directory named ``example-data/`` will appear in your current working directory.
+GNPy automaticallly populates it with example files from the current release.
+Remove that directory if you want to start from scratch.
+
+.. _install-python:
+
+Using Python on your computer
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+   **Note**: `gnpy` supports Python 3 only. Python 2 is not supported.
+   `gnpy` requires Python ≥3.6
+
+   **Note**: the `gnpy` maintainers strongly recommend the use of Anaconda for
+   managing dependencies.
+
+It is recommended that you use a "virtual environment" when installing `gnpy`.
+Do not install `gnpy` on your system Python.
+
+.. _install-anaconda:
+
+We recommend the use of the `Anaconda Python distribution <https://www.anaconda.com/download>`_ which comes with many scientific computing
+dependencies pre-installed. Anaconda creates a base "virtual environment" for
+you automatically. You can also create and manage your ``conda`` "virtual
+environments" yourself (see:
+https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html)
+
+To activate your Anaconda virtual environment, you may need to do the
+following:
+
+.. code-block:: shell-session
+
+    $ source /path/to/anaconda/bin/activate # activate Anaconda base environment
+    (base) $                                # note the change to the prompt
+
+You can check which Anaconda environment you are using with:
+
+.. code-block:: shell-session
+

+JSON Input Files
+================
+
+GNPy uses a set of JSON files for modeling the network.
+Some data (such as network topology or the service requests) can be also passed via :ref:`XLS files<excel-service-sheet>`.
+
+Equipment Library
+-----------------
+
+Design and transmission parameters are defined in a dedicated json file. By
+default, this information is read from `gnpy/example-data/eqpt_config.json
+<gnpy/example-data/eqpt_config.json>`_. This file defines the equipment libraries that
+can be customized (EDFAs, fibers, and transceivers).
+
+It also defines the simulation parameters (spans, ROADMs, and the spectral
+information to transmit.)
+
+EDFA
+~~~~
+
+The EDFA equipment library is a list of supported amplifiers. New amplifiers
+can be added and existing ones removed. Three different noise models are available:
+
+1. ``'type_def': 'variable_gain'`` is a simplified model simulating a 2-coil EDFA with internal, input and output VOAs. The NF vs gain response is calculated accordingly based on the input parameters: ``nf_min``, ``nf_max``, and ``gain_flatmax``. It is not a simple interpolation but a 2-stage NF calculation.
+2. ``'type_def': 'fixed_gain'`` is a fixed gain model.  `NF == Cte == nf0` if `gain_min < gain < gain_flatmax`
+3. ``'type_def': None`` is an advanced model. A detailed JSON configuration file is required (by default `gnpy/example-data/std_medium_gain_advanced_config.json <gnpy/example-data/std_medium_gain_advanced_config.json>`_). It uses a 3rd order polynomial where NF = f(gain), NF_ripple = f(frequency), gain_ripple = f(frequency), N-array dgt = f(frequency). Compared to the previous models, NF ripple and gain ripple are modelled.
+
+For all amplifier models:

+Simulation parameters
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Auto-design automatically creates EDFA amplifier network elements when they are
+missing, after a fiber, or between a ROADM and a fiber. This auto-design
+functionality can be manually and locally deactivated by introducing a ``Fused``
+network element after a ``Fiber`` or a ``Roadm`` that doesn't need amplification.
+The amplifier is chosen in the EDFA list of the equipment library based on
+gain, power, and NF criteria. Only the EDFA that are marked
+``'allowed_for_design': true`` are considered.
+
+For amplifiers defined in the topology JSON input but whose ``gain = 0``
+(placeholder), auto-design will set its gain automatically: see ``power_mode`` in
+the ``Spans`` library to find out how the gain is calculated.
+
+Span

+===========================
+
+QoT-E including ASE noise and NLI accumulation 
+----------------------------------------------
+
+The operations of PSE simulative framework are based on the capability to
+estimate the QoT of one or more channels operating lightpaths over a given
+network route. For backbone transport networks, we can suppose that
+transceivers are operating polarization-division-multiplexed multilevel
+modulation formats with DSP-based coherent receivers, including equalization.
+For the optical links, we focus on state-of-the-art amplified and uncompensated
+fiber links, connecting network nodes including ROADMs, where add and drop
+operations on data traffic are performed. In such a transmission scenario, it
+is well accepted
+:cite:`vacondio_nonlinear_2012,bononi_modeling_2012,carena_modeling_2012,mecozzi_nonlinear_2012,secondini_analytical_2012,johannisson_perturbation_2013,dar_properties_2013,serena_alternative_2013,secondini_achievable_2013,poggiolini_gn-model_2014,dar_accumulation_2014,poggiolini_analytical_2011,savory_approximations_2013,bononi_single-_2013,johannisson_modeling_2014`
+to assume that transmission performances are limited by the amplified
+spontaneous emission (ASE) noise generated by optical amplifiers and and
+by nonlinear propagation effects: accumulation of a Gaussian disturbance
+defined as nonlinear interference (NLI) and generation of phase noise.
+State-of-the-art DSP in commercial transceivers are typically able to
+compensate for most of the phase noise through carrier-phase estimator
+(CPE) algorithms, for modulation formats with cardinality up to 16, per
+polarization state
+:cite:`poggiolini_recent_2017,schmidt_experimental_2015,fehenberger_experimental_2016`.
+So, for backbone networks covering medium-to-wide geographical areas, we
+can suppose that propagation is limited by the accumulation of two
+Gaussian disturbances: the ASE noise and the NLI. Additional impairments
+such as filtering effects introduced by ROADMs can be considered as
+additional equivalent power penalties depending on the ratio between the
+channel bandwidth and the ROADMs filters and the number of traversed
+ROADMs (hops) of the route under analysis. Modeling the two major
+sources of impairments as Gaussian disturbances, and being the receivers
+*coherent*, the unique QoT parameter determining the bit error rate
+(BER) for the considered transmission scenario is the generalized
+signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) defined as
+
+.. math::
+
+   {\text{SNR}}= L_F \frac{P_{\text{ch}}}{P_{\text{ASE}}+P_{\text{NLI}}} = L_F \left(\frac{1}{{\text{SNR}}_{\text{LIN}}}+\frac{1}{{\text{SNR}}_{\text{NL}}}\right)^{-1}
+
+
+where :math:`P_{\text{ch}}` is the channel power,
+:math:`P_{\text{ASE}}` and :math:`P_{\text{NLI}}` are the power levels of the disturbances 
+in the channel bandwidth for ASE noise and NLI, respectively.
+:math:`L_F` is a parameter assuming values smaller or equal than one
+that summarizes the equivalent power penalty loss such as 
+filtering effects. Note that for state-of-the art equipment, filtering
+effects can be typically neglected over routes with few hops
+:cite:`rahman_mitigation_2014,foggi_overcoming_2015`.
+
+To properly estimate :math:`P_{\text{ch}}` and :math:`P_{\text{ASE}}`
+the transmitted power at the beginning of the considered route must be
+known, and losses and amplifiers gain and noise figure, including their
+variation with frequency, must be characterized. So, the evaluation of
+:math:`{\text{SNR}}_{\text{LIN}}` *just* requires an accurate
+knowledge of equipment, which is not a trivial aspect, but it is not
+related to physical-model issues. For the evaluation of the NLI, several
+models have been proposed and validated in the technical literature
+:cite:`vacondio_nonlinear_2012,bononi_modeling_2012,carena_modeling_2012,mecozzi_nonlinear_2012,secondini_analytical_2012,johannisson_perturbation_2013,dar_properties_2013,serena_alternative_2013,secondini_achievable_2013,poggiolini_gn-model_2014,dar_accumulation_2014,poggiolini_analytical_2011,savory_approximations_2013,bononi_single-_2013,johannisson_modeling_2014`.
+The decision about which model to test within the PSE activities was
+driven by requirements of the entire PSE framework:
+
+i. the model must be *local*, i.e., related individually to each network
+element (i.e. fiber span) generating NLI, independently of preceding and
+subsequent elements; and ii. the related computational time must be compatible
+with interactive operations. 
+
+So, the choice fell on the Gaussian Noise
+(GN) model with incoherent accumulation of NLI over fiber spans
+:cite:`poggiolini_gn-model_2014`. We implemented both the
+exact GN-model evaluation of NLI based on a double integral (Eq. (11) of
+:cite:`poggiolini_gn-model_2014`) and its analytical
+approximation (Eq. (120-121) of
+:cite:`poggiolini_analytical_2011`). We performed several
+validation analyses comparing results of the two implementations with
+split-step simulations over wide bandwidths
+:cite:`pilori_ffss_2017`, and results clearly showed that
+for fiber types with chromatic dispersion roughly larger than 4
+ps/nm/km, the analytical approximation ensures an excellent accuracy
+with a computational time compatible with real-time operations.
+
+The Gaussian Noise Model to evaluate the NLI
+--------------------------------------------
+
+As previously stated, fiber propagation of multilevel modulation formats
+relying on the polarization-division-multiplexing  generates impairments that
+can be summarized as  a disturbance called nonlinear interference (NLI), when
+exploiting a DSP-based coherent receiver, as in all state-of-the-art equipment.
+From a practical point of view, the NLI can be modeled as an additive Gaussian
+random process added by each fiber span, and whose strength depends on the cube
+of the input power spectral density and on the fiber-span parameters. 
+
+Since the introduction in the market in 2007 of the first transponder based on
+such a transmission technique, the scientific community has intensively worked
+to define the propagation behavior of such a trasnmission technique.  First,
+the role of in-line chromatic dispersion compensation has been investigated,
+deducing that besides being not essential, it is indeed detrimental for
+performances :cite:`curri_dispersion_2008`.  Then, it has been observed that
+the fiber propagation impairments are practically summarized by the sole NLI,
+being all the other phenomena compensated for by the blind equalizer
+implemented in the receiver DSP :cite:`carena_statistical_2010`.  Once these
+assessments have been accepted by the community, several prestigious research
+groups have started to work on deriving analytical models able to estimating
+the NLI accumulation, and consequentially the generalized SNR that sets the
+BER, according to the transponder BER vs. SNR performance.  Many models
+delivering different levels of accuracy have been developed and validated. As
+previously clarified, for the purposes of the PSE framework, the  GN-model with
+incoherent accumulation of NLI over fiber spans has been selected as adequate.
+The reason for such a choice is first such a model being a "local" model, so
+related to each fiber spans, independently of the preceding and succeeding
+network elements. The other model characteristic driving the choice is the
+availability of a closed form for the model, so permitting a real-time
+evaluation, as required by the PSE framework.  For a detailed derivation of the
+model, please refer to :cite:`poggiolini_analytical_2011`, while a qualitative
+description can be summarized as in the following.  The GN-model assumes that
+the channel comb propagating in the fiber is well approximated by unpolarized
+spectrally shaped Gaussian noise. In such a scenario, supposing to rely - as in
+state-of-the-art equipment - on a receiver entirely compensating for linear
+propagation effects, propagation in the fiber only excites the four-wave mixing
+(FWM) process among the continuity of the tones occupying the bandwidth. Such a
+FWM generates an unpolarized complex Gaussian disturbance in each spectral slot
+that can be easily evaluated extending the FWM theory from a set of discrete
+tones - the standard FWM theory introduced back in the 90s by Inoue
+:cite:`Innoue-FWM`- to a continuity of tones, possibly spectrally shaped.
+Signals propagating in the fiber are not equivalent to Gaussian noise, but
+thanks to the absence of in-line compensation for choromatic dispersion, the
+become so, over short distances.  So, the Gaussian noise model with incoherent
+accumulation of NLI has estensively proved to be a quick yet accurate and
+conservative tool to estimate propagation impairments of fiber propagation.
+Note that the GN-model has not been derived with the aim of an *exact*
+performance estimation, but to pursue a conservative performance prediction.
+So, considering these characteristics, and the fact that the NLI is always a
+secondary effect with respect to the ASE noise accumulation, and - most
+importantly - that typically linear propagation parameters (losses, gains and
+noise figures) are known within a variation range, a QoT estimator based on the
+GN model is adequate to deliver performance predictions in terms of a
+reasonable SNR range, rather than an exact value.  As final remark, it must be
+clarified that the GN-model is adequate to be used when relying on a relatively
+narrow bandwidth up to few THz. When exceeding such a bandwidth occupation, the
+GN-model must be generalized introducing the interaction with the Stimulated
+Raman Scattering in order to give a proper estimation for all channels
+:cite:`cantono2018modeling`.  This will be the main upgrade required within the
+PSE framework.

+*********************************************
+Amplifier models and configuration
+*********************************************
+
+
+1. Equipment configuration description
+#######################################
+
+Equipment description defines equipment types and parameters.
+It takes place in the default **eqpt_config.json** file. 
+By default **gnpy-transmission-example** uses **eqpt_config.json** file and that
+can be changed with **-e** or **--equipment** command line parameter.
+
+2. Amplifier parameters and subtypes
+#######################################
+
+Several amplifiers can be used by GNpy, so they are defined as an array of equipment parameters in **eqpt_config.json** file.
+
+- *"type_variety"*:
+    Each amplifier is identified by its unique *"type_variety"*, which is used in the topology files input to reference a specific amplifier. It is a user free defined id.
+    
+    For each amplifier *type_variety*, specific parameters are describing its attributes and performance:
+
+- *"type_def"*:
+    Sets the amplifier model that the simulation will use to calculate the ase noise contribution. 5 models are defined with reserved words:
+
+    - *"advanced_model"*
+    - *"variable_gain"*
+    - *"fixed_gain"*
+    - *"dual_stage"*
+    - *"openroadm"*
+        *see next section for a full description of these models*
+
+- *"advanced_config_from_json"*:
+    **This parameter is only applicable to the _"advanced_model"_ model**
+    
+    json file name describing:
+
+    - nf_fit_coeff
+    - f_min/max
+    - gain_ripple
+    - nf_ripple 
+    - dgt
+    
+    *see next section for a full description*
+
+- *"gain_flatmax"*: 
+    amplifier maximum gain in dB before its extended gain range: flat or nominal tilt output. 
+    
+    If gain > gain_flatmax, the amplifier will tilt, based on its dgt function
+
+    If gain > gain_flatmax + target_extended_gain, the amplifier output power is reduced to  not exceed the extended gain range.
+
+- *"gain_min"*: 
+    amplifier minimum gain in dB.
+
+    If gain < gain_min, the amplifier input is automatically padded, which results in
+
+    NF += gain_min - gain 
+
+- *"p_max"*: 
+    amplifier max output power, full load
+
+    Total signal output power will not be allowed beyond this value
+

+3. Amplifier models
+#######################################
+
+In an opensource and multi-vendor environnement, it is needed to support different use cases and context. Therefore several models are supported for amplifiers.
+
+5 types of EDFA definition are possible and referenced by the *"type_def"* parameter with the following reserved words:
+
+-  *"advanced_model"* 
+    This model is refered as a whitebox model because of the detailed level of knowledge that is required. The amplifier NF model and ripple definition are described by a json file referenced with *"advanced_config_from_json"*: json filename. This json file contains:
+
+    - nf_fit_coeff: [a,b,c,d]
+         
+        3rd order polynomial NF = f(-dg) coeficients list
+
+        dg = gain - gain_max
+
+    - f_min/max: amplifier frequency range in Hz
+    - gain_ripple : [...]
+
+        amplifier gain ripple excursion comb list in dB across the frequency range.
+    - nf_ripple : [...]
+        
+        amplifier nf ripple excursion comb list in dB across the frequency range. 
+    - dgt : [...]
+        amplifier dynamic gain tilt comb list across the frequency range.
+            
+        *See next section for the generation of this json file*
+
+    .. code-block:: json-object
+
+        "Edfa":[{
+                "type_variety": "high_detail_model_example",
+                "type_def": "advanced_model",
+                "gain_flatmax": 25,
+                "gain_min": 15,
+                "p_max": 21,
+                "advanced_config_from_json": "std_medium_gain_advanced_config.json",
+                "out_voa_auto": false,
+                "allowed_for_design": false
+                }
+            ]
+
+- *"variable_gain"* 
+    This model is refered as an operator model because a lower level of knowledge is required. A full polynomial description of the NF cross the gain range is not required. Instead, NF_min and NF_max values are required and used by the code to model a dual stage amplifier with an internal mid stage VOA. NF_min and NF_max values are typically available from equipment suppliers data-sheet.
+
+    There is a default JSON file ”default_edfa_config.json”* to enforce 0 tilt and ripple values because GNpy core algorithm is a multi-carrier propogation.
+    - gain_ripple =[0,...,0]
+    - nf_ripple = [0,...,0]
+    - dgt = [...] generic dgt comb
+
+    .. code-block:: json-object
+
+        "Edfa":[{
+                "type_variety": "std_medium_gain",

+                "gain_flatmax": 26,
+                "gain_min": 15,
+                "p_max": 23,
+                "nf_min": 6,

+                "allowed_for_design": true
+                }
+            ]
+
+-  *"fixed_gain"* 
+    This model is also an operator model with a single NF value that emulates basic single coil amplifiers without internal VOA.
+
+    if gain_min < gain < gain_max, NF == nf0
+    
+    if gain < gain_min, the amplifier input is automatically padded, which results in 
+
+    NF += gain_min - gain

+                "allowed_for_design": false
+                }
+            ]
+
+- *"openroadm"* 
+    This model is a black box model replicating OpenRoadm MSA spec for ILA.
+
+    .. code-block:: json-object
+
+        "Edfa":[{
+                "type_variety": "low_noise",

+                "allowed_for_design": false
+                }
+            ]
+
+- *"dual_stage"* 
+    This model allows the cascade (pre-defined combination) of any 2 amplifiers already described in the eqpt_config.json library.
+    
+    - preamp_variety defines the 1st stge type variety
+    
+    - booster variety defines the 2nd stage type variety
+    
+    Both preamp and booster variety must exist in the eqpt libray
+    The resulting NF is the sum of the 2 amplifiers 
+    The preamp is operated to its maximum gain
+    
+    - gain_min indicates to auto_design when this dual_stage should be used
+    
+    But unlike other models the 1st stage input will not be padded: it is always operated to its maximu gain and min NF. Therefore if gain adaptation and padding is needed it will be performed by the 2nd stage.
+
+    .. code-block:: json
