Floating point formatting of elements' operational parameters

The current JSON data loader preserves (some) integers as integers. When
printed, the value might not contain any decimal points. The YANG patch
series, however, forces floats when floats are expected (while still
allowing None). This makes the output subtly different.

+GNPy is an open-source, community-developed library for building route planning and optimization tools in real-world mesh optical networks.
+We are a consortium of operators, vendors, and academic researchers sponsored via the [Telecom Infra Project](http://telecominfraproject.com)'s [OOPT/PSE](https://telecominfraproject.com/open-optical-packet-transport) working group.
+Together, we are building this tool for rapid development of production-grade route planning tools which is easily extensible to include custom network elements and performant to the scale of real-world mesh optical networks.
+
+![GNPy with an OLS system](docs/images/GNPy-banner.png)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Install either via [Docker](docs/install.rst#install-docker), or as a [Python package](docs/install.rst#install-pip).
+Read our [documentation](https://gnpy.readthedocs.io/), learn from the demos, and [get in touch with us](https://github.com/Telecominfraproject/oopt-gnpy/discussions).
+
+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:
+
+[![Running a simple simulation example](https://telecominfraproject.github.io/oopt-gnpy/docs/images/transmission_main_example.svg)](https://asciinema.org/a/252295)
+
+GNPy can do much more, including acting as a Path Computation Engine, tracking bandwidth requests, or advising the SDN controller about a best possible path through a large DWDM network.
+Learn more about this [in the documentation](https://gnpy.readthedocs.io/).

-`gnpy`: mesh optical network route planning and optimization library
-====
-
-|docs| |build|
-
-**gnpy is an open-source, community-developed library for building route planning
-and optimization tools in real-world mesh optical networks.**
-
-`gnpy <http://github.com/telecominfraproject/gnpy>`_ is:
-
-- a sponsored project of the `OOPT/PSE <http://telecominfraproject.com/project-groups-2/backhaul-projects/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
-
-Installation
-------------
-
-``gnpy`` is hosted in the `Python Package Index <http://pypi.org/>`_ (`gnpy <https://pypi.org/project/gnpy/>`_). It can be installed via:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-    $ pip install gnpy
-
-It can also be installed directly from the repo.
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-    $ git clone https://github.com/telecominfraproject/gnpy
-    $ cd gnpy
-    $ python setup.py install
-
-Both approaches above will handle installing any additional software dependencies.
-
-    **Note**: *We recommend the use of the Anaconda Python distribution
-    (https://www.anaconda.com/download) which comes with many scientific
-    computing dependencies pre-installed.*
-
-Instructions for 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 James
-    Powell <james.powell@telecominfraproject>. gnpy is looking for users with
-    specific, delineated use cases to drive requirements for future
-    development.*
-
-
-**To get started, run the transmission example:**
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-    $ python examples/transmission_main_example.py
-
-By default, this script operates on a single span network defined in `examples/edfa/edfa_example_network.json <examples/edfa/edfa_example_network.json>`_
-
-You can specify a different network at the command line as follows. For
-example, to use the CORONET Continental US (CONUS) network defined in `examples/coronet_conus_example.json <examples/coronet_conus_example.json>`_:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-    $ python examples/transmission_main_example.py examples/coronet_conus_example.json
-
-This script will calculate the average signal osnr and snr across 93 network
-elements (transceiver, ROADMs, fibers, and amplifiers) between Abilene, Texas
-and Albany, New York.
-
-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`
-
-The `transmission_main_example.py <examples/transmission_main_example.py>`_
-script propagates a specrum of 96 channels at 32 Gbaud, 50 GHz spacing and 0
-dBm/channel. These are not yet parametrized but can be modified directly in the
-script (via the SpectralInformation tuple) to accomodate any baud rate,
-spacing, power or channel count demand.
-
-The amplifier's gain is set to exactly compsenate for the loss in each network
-element. The amplifier is currently defined with gain range of 15 dB to 25 dB
-and 21 dBm max output power. Ripple and NF models are defined in
-`examples/edfa_config.json <examples/edfa_config.json>`_
-

-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 focussing 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.

+
+Simulating networks with GNPy
+=============================
+
+Running simulations with GNPy requires three pieces of information:
+
+- the :ref:`network topology<concepts-topology>`, which describes how the network looks like, what are the fiber lengths, what amplifiers are used, etc.,
+- the :ref:`equipment library<concepts-equipment>`, which holds machine-readable datasheets of the equipment used in the network,
+- the :ref:`simulation options<concepts-simulation>` holding instructions about what to simulate, and under which conditions.
+
+.. _concepts-topology:
+
+Network Topology
+----------------
+
+The *topology* acts as a "digital self" of the simulated network.
+When given a network topology, GNPy can either run a specific simulation as-is, or it can *optimize* the topology before performing the simulation.
+
+A network topology for GNPy is often a generic, mesh network.
+This enables GNPy to take into consideration the current spectrum allocation as well as availability and resiliency considerations.
+When the time comes to run a particular *propagation* of a signal and its impairments are computed, though, a linear path through the network is used.
+For this purpose, the *path* through the network refers to an ordered, acyclic sequence of *nodes* that are processed.
+This path is directional, and all "GNPy elements" along the path match the unidirectional part of a real-world network equipment.
+
+.. note::
+  In practical terms, an amplifier in GNPy refers to an entity with a single input port and a single output port.
+  A real-world inline EDFA enclosed in a single chassis will be therefore represented as two GNPy-level amplifiers.
+
+The network topology contains not just the physical topology of the network, but also references to the :ref:`equipment library<concepts-equipment>` and a set of *operating parameters* for each entity.
+These parameters include the **fiber length** of each fiber, the connector **attenutation losses**, or an amplifier's specific **gain setting**.
+
+.. _complete-vs-incomplete:
+
+Fully Specified vs. Partially Designed Networks
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Let's consider a simple triangle topology with three :abbr:`PoPs (Points of Presence)` covering three cities:
+
+.. graphviz::
+  :layout: neato
+  :align: center
+
+  graph "High-level topology with three PoPs" {
+    A -- B
+    B -- C
+    C -- A
+  }
+
+In the real world, each city would probably host a ROADM and some transponders:
+
+.. graphviz::
+  :layout: neato
+  :align: center
+
+  graph "Simplified topology with transponders" {
+    "ROADM A" [pos="2,2!"]
+    "ROADM B" [pos="4,2!"]
+    "ROADM C" [pos="3,1!"]
+    "Transponder A" [shape=box, pos="0,2!"]
+    "Transponder B" [shape=box, pos="6,2!"]
+    "Transponder C" [shape=box, pos="3,0!"]
+
+    "ROADM A" -- "ROADM B"
+    "ROADM B" -- "ROADM C"
+    "ROADM C" -- "ROADM A"
+
+    "Transponder A" -- "ROADM A"
+    "Transponder B" -- "ROADM B"
+    "Transponder C" -- "ROADM C"
+  }
+
+GNPy simulation works by propagating the optical signal over a sequence of elements, which means that one has to add some preamplifiers and boosters.
+The amplifiers are, by definition, unidirectional, so the graph becomes quite complex:
+

+  }
+
+In such networks, GNPy's autodesign features becomes very useful.
+It is possible to connect ROADMs via "tentative links" which will be replaced by a sequence of actual fibers and specific amplifiers.
+In other cases where the location of amplifier huts is already known, but the specific EDFA models have not yet been decided, one can put in amplifier placeholders and let GNPy assign the best amplifier.
+
+.. _concepts-equipment:
+
+The Equipment Library
+---------------------
+
+In order to produce an accurate simulation, GNPy needs to know the physical properties of each entity which affects the optical signal.
+Entries in the equipment library correspond to actual real-world, tangible entities.
+Unlike a typical :abbr:`NMS (Network Management System)`, GNPy considers not just the active :abbr:`NEs (Network Elements)` such as amplifiers and :abbr:`ROADMs (Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers)`, but also the passive ones, such as the optical fiber.
+
+As the signal propagates through the network, the largest source of optical impairments is the noise introduced from amplifiers.
+An accurate description of the :abbr:`EDFA (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier)` and especially its noise characteristics is required.
+GNPy describes this property in terms of the **Noise Figure (NF)** of an amplifier model as a function of its operating point.
+
+The amplifiers compensate power losses induced on the signal in the optical fiber.
+The linear losses, however, are just one phenomenon of a multitude of effects that affect the signals in a long fiber run.
+While a more detailed description is available :ref:`in the literature<physical-model>`, for the purpose of the equipment library, the description of the *optical fiber* comprises its **linear attenutation coefficient**, a set of parameters for the **Raman effect**, optical **dispersion**, etc.
+
+Signals are introduced into the network via *transponders*.
+The set of parameters that are required describe the physical properties of each supported *mode* of the transponder, including its **symbol rate**, spectral **width**, etc.
+
+In the junctions of the network, *ROADMs* are used for spectrum routing.
+GNPy currently does not take into consideration the spectrum filtering penalties of the :abbr:`WSSes (Wavelength Selective Switches)`, but the equipment library nonetheless contains a list of required parameters, such as the attenuation options, so that the network can be properly simulated.
+
+.. _concepts-nf-model:
+
+Amplifier Noise Figure Models
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+One of the key parameters of an amplifier is the method to use for computing the Noise Figure (NF).
+GNPy supports several different noise models with varying level of accuracy.
+When in doubt, contact your vendor's technical support and ask them to :ref:`contribute their equipment descriptions<extending-edfa>` to GNPy.
+
+The most accurate noise models describe the resulting NF of an EDFA as a third-degree polynomial.
+GNPy understands polynomials as a NF-yielding function of the :ref:`gain difference from the optimal gain<ext-nf-model-polynomial-NF>`, or as a function of the input power resulting in an incremental OSNR as used in :ref:`OpenROADM inline amplifiers<ext-nf-model-polynomial-OSNR-OpenROADM>` and :ref:`OpenROADM booster/preamps in the ROADMs<ext-nf-model-noise-mask-OpenROADM>`.
+For scenarios where the vendor has not yet contributed an accurate EDFA NF description to GNPy, it is possible to approximate the characteristics via an operator-focused, min-max NF model.
+
+.. _nf-model-min-max-NF:
+
+Min-max NF
+**********
+
+This is an operator-focused model where performance is defined by the *minimal* and *maximal NF*.
+These are especially suited to model a dual-coil EDFA with a VOA in between.
+In these amplifiers, the minimal NF is achieved when the EDFA operates at its maximal (and usually optimal, in terms of flatness) gain.
+The worst (maximal) NF applies  when the EDFA operates at its minimal gain.
+
+This model is suitable for use when the vendor has not provided a more accurate performance description of the EDFA.
+
+Raman Approximation
+*******************
+
+While GNPy is fully Raman-aware, under certain scenarios it is useful to be able to run a simulation without an accurate Raman description.
+For these purposes the :ref:`polynomial NF<ext-nf-model-polynomial-NF>` model with :math:`\text{a} = \text{b} = \text{c} = 0`, and :math:`\text{d} = NF` can be used.
+
+.. _concepts-simulation:
+
+Simulation
+----------
+
+When the network model has been instantiated and the physical properties and operational settings of the actual physical devices are known, GNPy can start simulating how the signal propagate through the optical fiber.
+
+This set of input parameters include options such as the *spectrum allocation*, i.e., the number of channels and their spacing.
+Various strategies for network optimization can be provided as well.

+
+``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.
+

+- Nodes
+- Links
+
+(In progress) The File MAY contain an additional 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**

+
+
+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".

+
+- **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.
+

+Eqpt sheet 
+----------
+
+The equipment sheet (named "Eqpt") is optional.
+If provided, it specifies types of boosters and preamplifiers for all ROADM degrees of all ROADM nodes, and for all ILA nodes.
+
+This sheet contains 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 there are egress directions of ROADMs defined in Links Sheet, and all ILAs.
+
+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 one-degree ROADM (B and C in this example)
+  - two lines for each two-degree ROADM (just the ROADM A)
+
+::
+
+  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**, in dB, is not mandatory. It is the target gain tilt over the full amplfifier bandwidth and is defined with regard to wavelength, i.e. negative tilt means lower gain
+  for higher wavelengths (lower frequencies). If not filled, the default value is 0.
+
+- **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.
+

+.. _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.

+
+Extending GNPy with vendor-specific data
+========================================
+
+GNPy ships with an :ref:`equipment library<concepts-equipment>` containing machine-readable datasheets of networking equipment.
+Vendors who are willing to contribute descriptions of their supported products are encouraged to `submit a patch <https://review.gerrithub.io/Documentation/intro-gerrit-walkthrough-github.html>`__.
+
+This chapter discusses option for modeling performance of :ref:`EDFA amplifiers<extending-edfa>`, :ref:`Raman amplifiers<extending-raman>`, :ref:`transponders<extending-transponder>` and :ref:`ROADMs<extending-roadm>`.
+
+.. _extending-edfa:
+
+EDFAs
+-----
+
+An accurate description of the :abbr:`EDFA (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier)` and especially its noise characteristics is required.
+GNPy describes this property in terms of the **Noise Figure (NF)** of an amplifier model as a function of its operating point.
+GNPy supports several different :ref:`noise models<concepts-nf-model>`, and vendors are encouraged to pick one which describes performance of their equipment most accurately.
+
+.. _ext-nf-model-polynomial-NF:
+
+Polynomial NF
+*************
+
+This model computes the NF as a function of the difference between the optimal gain and the current gain.
+The NF is expressed as a third-degree polynomial:
+
+.. math::
+
+       f(x) &= \text{a}x^3 + \text{b}x^2 + \text{c}x + \text{d}
+
+  \text{NF} &= f(G_\text{max} - G)
+
+This model can be also used for fixed-gain fixed-NF amplifiers.
+In that case, use:
+
+.. math::
+
+  a = b = c &= 0
+
+          d &= \text{NF}
+
+.. _ext-nf-model-polynomial-OSNR-OpenROADM:
+
+Polynomial OSNR (OpenROADM-style for inline amplifier)
+******************************************************
+
+This model is useful for amplifiers compliant to the OpenROADM specification for ILA (an in-line amplifier).
+The amplifier performance is evaluated via its incremental OSNR, which is a function of the input power.
+
+.. math::
+
+    \text{OSNR}_\text{inc}(P_\text{in}) = \text{a}P_\text{in}^3 + \text{b}P_\text{in}^2 + \text{c}P_\text{in} + \text{d}
+
+.. _ext-nf-model-noise-mask-OpenROADM:
+
+Noise mask (OpenROADM-style for combined preamp and booster)
+************************************************************
+
+Unlike GNPy which simluates the preamplifier and the booster separately as two amplifiers for best accuracy, the OpenROADM specification mandates a certain performance level for a combination of these two amplifiers.
+For the express path, the effective noise mask comprises the preamplifier and the booster.
+When terminating a channel, the same effective noise mask is mandated for a combination of the preamplifier and the drop stage.
+
+GNPy emulates this specification via two special NF models:
+
+- The ``openroadm_preamp`` NF model for preamplifiers.
+  This NF model provides all of the linear impairments to the signal, including those which are incured by the booster in a real network.
+- The ``openroadm_booster`` NF model is a special "zero noise" faux amplifier in place of the booster.
+
+.. _ext-nf-model-min-max-NF:
+
+Min-max NF
+**********
+
+When the vendor prefers not to share the amplifier description in full detail, GNPy also supports describing the NF characteristics via the *minimal* and *maximal NF*.
+This approximates a more accurate polynomial description reasonably well for some models of a dual-coil EDFA with a VOA in between.
+In these amplifiers, the minimal NF is achieved when the EDFA operates at its maximal (and usually optimal, in terms of flatness) gain.
+The worst (maximal) NF applies  when the EDFA operates at the minimal gain.
+
+.. _ext-nf-model-dual-stage-amplifier:
+
+Dual-stage
+**********
+
+Dual-stage amplifier combines two distinct amplifiers.
+Vendors which provide an accurate description of their preamp and booster stages separately can use the dual-stage model for an aggregate description of the whole amplifier.
+
+.. _ext-nf-model-advanced:
+
+Advanced Specification
+**********************
+
+The amplifier performance can be further described in terms of gain ripple, NF ripple, and the dynamic gain tilt.
+When provided, the amplifier characteristic is fine-tuned as a function of carrier frequency.
+
+.. _extending-raman:
+
+Raman Amplifiers
+----------------
+
+An accurate simulation of Raman amplification requires knowledge of:
+
+- the *power* and *wavelength* of all Raman pumping lasers,
+- the *direction*, whether it is co-propagating or counter-propagating,
+- the Raman efficiency of the fiber,
+- the fiber temperature.
+
+Under certain scenarios it is useful to be able to run a simulation without an accurate Raman description.
+For these purposes, it is possible to approximate a Raman amplifier via a fixed-gain EDFA with the :ref:`polynomial NF<ext-nf-model-polynomial-NF>` model using :math:`\text{a} = \text{b} = \text{c} = 0`, and a desired effective :math:`\text{d} = NF`.
+This is also useful to quickly approximate a hybrid EDFA+Raman amplifier.
+
+.. _extending-transponder:
+
+Transponders
+------------
+
+Since transponders are usually capable of operating in a variety of modes, these are described separately.
+A *mode* usually refers to a particular performance point that is defined by a combination of the symbol rate, modulation format, and :abbr:`FEC (Forward Error Correction)`.
+
+The following data are required for each mode:
+
+``bit-rate``
+  Data bit rate, in :math:`\text{Gbits}\times s^{-1}`.
+``baud-rate``
+  Symbol modulation rate, in :math:`\text{Gbaud}`.
+``required-osnr``
+  Minimal allowed OSNR for the receiver.
+``tx-osnr``
+  Initial OSNR at the transmitter's output.
+``grid-spacing``
+  Minimal grid spacing, i.e., an effective channel spectral bandwidth.
+  In :math:`\text{Hz}`.
+``tx-roll-off``
+  Roll-off parameter (:math:`\beta`) of the TX pulse shaping filter.
+  This assumes a raised-cosine filter.
+``rx-power-min`` and ``rx-power-max``
+  The allowed range of power at the receiver.
+  In :math:`\text{dBm}`.
+``cd-max``
+  Maximal allowed Chromatic Dispersion (CD).
+  In :math:`\text{ps}/\text{nm}`.
+``pmd-max``
+  Maximal allowed Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD).
+  In :math:`\text{ps}`.
+``cd-penalty``
+  *Work-in-progress.*
+  Describes the increase of the requires GSNR as the :abbr:`CD (Chromatic Dispersion)` deteriorates.
+``dgd-penalty``
+  *Work-in-progress.*
+  Describes the increase of the requires GSNR as the :abbr:`DGD (Differential Group Delay)` deteriorates.
+``pmd-penalty``
+  *Work-in-progress.*
+  Describes the increase of the requires GSNR as the :abbr:`PMD (Polarization Mode Dispersion)` deteriorates.
+
+GNPy does not directly track the FEC performance, so the type of chosen FEC is likely indicated in the *name* of the selected transponder mode alone.
+
+.. _extending-roadm:
+
+ROADMs
+------
+
+In a :abbr:`ROADM (Reconfigurable Add/Drop Multiplexer)`, GNPy simulates the impairments of the preamplifiers and boosters of line degrees :ref:`separately<topo-roadm-preamp-booster>`.
+The set of parameters for each ROADM model therefore includes:
+
+``add-drop-osnr``
+  OSNR penalty introduced by the Add and Drop stages of this ROADM type.
+``target-channel-out-power``
+  Per-channel target TX power towards the egress amplifier.
+  Within GNPy, a ROADM is expected to attenuate any signal that enters the ROADM node to this level.
+  This can be overridden on a per-link in the network topology.
+``pmd``
+  Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) penalty of the express path.
+  In :math:`\text{ps}`.
+
+Provisions are in place to define the list of all allowed booster and preamplifier types.
+This is useful for specifying constraints on what amplifier modules fit into ROADM chassis, and when using fully disaggregated ROADM topologies as well.

-- 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.

+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
+
+    (base) $ conda env list                          # list all environments
+    # conda environments:
+    #
+    base                  *  /src/install/anaconda3
+

+Introduction
+============
+
+``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:

+   :alt: Running a simple simulation example
+   :target: https://asciinema.org/a/252295
+
+By default, this script operates on a single span network defined in
+`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.xls <gnpy/example-data/CORONET_Global_Topology.xls>`_).
+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 simulation 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.
+
+OpenROADM networks can be simulated via ``gnpy/example-data/eqpt_config_openroadm.json`` -- see ``gnpy/example-data/Sweden_OpenROADM_example_network.json`` as an example.

+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 <https://github.com/Telecominfraproject/oopt-gnpy/blob/master/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': 'openroadm'`` models the incremental OSNR contribution as a function of input power.
+   It is suitable for inline amplifiers that conform to the OpenROADM specification.
+   The input parameters are coefficients of the :ref:`third-degree polynomial<ext-nf-model-polynomial-OSNR-OpenROADM>`.
+4. ``'type_def': 'openroadm_preamp'`` and ``openroadm_booster`` approximate the :ref:`preamp and booster within an OpenROADM network<ext-nf-model-noise-mask-OpenROADM>`.
+   No extra parameters specific to the NF model are accepted.
+5. ``'type_def': 'advanced_model'`` is an advanced model.
+   A detailed JSON configuration file is required (by default `gnpy/example-data/std_medium_gain_advanced_config.json <https://github.com/Telecominfraproject/oopt-gnpy/blob/master/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:

+Global parameters
+-----------------
+
+The following options are still defined in ``eqpt_config.json`` for legacy reasons, but
+they do not correspond to tangible network devices.
+
+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.

-This module contains the base class for a network element.
-
-Strictly, a network element is any callable which accepts an immutable
-.info.SpectralInformation object and returns a .info.SpectralInformation object
-(a copy.)
-
-Network elements MUST implement two attributes .uid and .name representing a
-unique identifier and a printable name.
-
-This base class provides a mode convenient way to define a network element

+*********************************************
+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
+
+- *"nf_min/max"*:
+    **These parameters are only applicable to the _"variable_gain"_ model**
+
+    min & max NF values in dB
+
+    NF_min is the amplifier NF @ gain_max  
+
+    NF_max is the amplifier NF @ gain_min  
+
+- *"nf_coef"*: 
+    **This parameter is only applicable to the *"openroadm"* model**
+
+    [a, b, c, d] 3rd order polynomial coefficients list to define the incremental OSNR vs Pin
+    
+    Incremental OSNR is the amplifier OSNR contribution
+    
+    Pin is the amplifier channel input power defined in a 50GHz bandwidth
+    
+    Incremental OSNR = a*Pin³ + b*Pin² + c*Pin + d
+
+- *"preamp_variety"*: 
+    **This parameter is only applicable to the _"dual_stage"_ model**
+
+    1st stage type_variety
+
+- *"booster_variety"*: 
+    **This parameter is only applicable to the *"dual_stage"* model**
+
+    2nd stage type_variety
+
+- *"out_voa_auto"*: true/false
+    **power_mode only**
+
+    **This parameter is only applicable to the *"advanced_model"* and *"variable_gain"* models**
+
+    If "out_voa_auto": true, auto_design will chose the output_VOA value that maximizes the amplifier gain within its power capability and therefore minimizes its NF.
+
+- *"allowed_for_design"*: true/false
+    **auto_design only**
+
+    Tells auto_design if this amplifier can be picked for the design (deactivates unwanted amplifiers)
+
+    It does not prevent the use of an amplifier if it is placed in the topology input.

+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*
+

+                "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.

+                }
+            ]
+
+-  *"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 
+

+                }
+            ]
+
+- *"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.

+nf = f(dg) with dg = gain_operational - gain_max
+
+nf_ripple: NF ripple excursion txt file
+
+gain_ripple: gain ripple txt file

+gnpy.tools.convert
+==================
+
+This module contains utilities for converting between XLS and JSON.
+
+The input XLS file must contain sheets named "Nodes" and "Links".
+It may optionally contain a sheet named "Eqpt".
+
+In the "Nodes" sheet, only the "City" column is mandatory. The column "Type"
+can be determined automatically given the topology (e.g., if degree 2, ILA;
+otherwise, ROADM.) Incorrectly specified types (e.g., ILA for node of
+degree ≠ 2) will be automatically corrected.
+
+In the "Links" sheet, only the first three columns ("Node A", "Node Z" and
+"east Distance (km)") are mandatory.  Missing "west" information is copied from
+the "east" information so that it is possible to input undirected data.

+Equipment and Network description definitions
+*********************************************
+
+1. Equipment description
+########################
+
+Equipment description defines equipment types and those parameters.
+Description is made in JSON file with predefined structure. By default
+**gnpy-transmission-example** uses **eqpt_config.json** file and that
+can be changed with **-e** or **--equipment** command line parameter.
+Parsing of JSON file is made with
+**gnpy.core.equipment.load_equipment(equipment_description)** and return
+value is a dictionary of format **dict[‘equipment
+type’][‘subtype’]=object**
+
+1.1. Structure definition
+*************************
+
+1.1.1. Equipment types
+*************************

+
+
+1.1.2. Equipment parameters and subtypes
+*****************************************
+
+
+Array of parameters is a list of objects with unordered parameter name
+and its value definition. In case of multiple equipment subtypes each
+object contains **"type_variety":”type name”** name:value combination,
+if only one subtype exists **"type_variety"** name is not mandatory and
+it will be marked with **”default”** value.

+RamanFiber element
+******************
+
+A special variant of the regular ``Fiber`` where the simulation engine accounts for the Raman effect.
+The newly added parameters are nested in the ``raman_efficiency`` dictionary.
+Its shape corresponds to typical properties of silica.
+More details are available from :cite:`curri_merit_2016`.
+
+The ``cr`` property is the normailzed Raman efficiency, so it is is (almost) independent of the fiber type, while the coefficient actually giving Raman gain is g_R=C_R/Aeff.
+
+The ``frequency_offset`` represents the spectral difference between the pumping photon and the one receiving energy.

+2. Network description
+***********************
+
+Network description defines network elements with additional to
+equipment description parameters, metadata and elements interconnection.
+Description is made in JSON file with predefined structure. By default
+**gnpy-transmission-example** uses **edfa_example_network.json** file
+and can be changed from command line. Parsing of JSON file is made with
+**gnpy.core.network.load_network(network_description,
+equipment_description)** and return value is **DiGraph** object which
+mimics network description.
+
+2.1. Structure definition
+##########################
+
+2.1.1. File root structure
+***************************
+
+Network description JSON file root consist of three unordered parts:
