As mentioned in GitHub issue #409, an out_voa value for an EDFA explicitly set in the topology file is not taken into account by auto-design when calculating target power and gain. I think it is more logical if the target power resulting from the optimization algorithm represents the desired power into the fiber. This is also more consistent with the behaviour for an automatically set out_voa value when out_voa_auto is set to true.

GNPy: Optical Route Planning and DWDM Network Optimization
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's OOPT/PSE 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.
Quick Start
Install either via Docker, or as a Python package. Read our documentation, learn from the demos, and get in touch with us.
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 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.
