This review paper explores statistical methodologies for analyzing network characteristics, dimensioning, parameter estimation, and cost prediction of optical networks, and provides a generalized framework based on the idea of convex areas, and link length and shortest path. This review paper explores statistical methodologies for analyzing network characteristics, dimensioning, parameter estimation, and cost prediction of optical networks, and provides a generalized framework based on the idea of convex areas, and link length and shortest path. Optical networks serve as the backbone of modern communication, requiring statistical analysis and modeling to optimize performance, reliability, and scalability. 872 describes the functional architecture of the optical transport network (OTN) using the modelling methodology described in Recommendations ITU-T G. The paper covers multiple aspects of OTN such.
