Description: Optical network protection refers to a set of measures specifically designed to safeguard optical networks against various types of network attacks, including distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks aim to saturate network resources, causing service disruptions and affecting the availability of infrastructure. In the context of optical networks, which use light to transmit data through fibers, DDoS protection becomes crucial due to the high bandwidth capacity and transmission speed they offer. The main features of these measures include early detection of anomalous traffic patterns, the ability to mitigate attacks in real-time, and the implementation of filters that can identify and block malicious traffic before it reaches its destination. The relevance of optical network protection lies in the growing dependence of businesses and organizations on high-speed connectivity, where any disruption can result in significant losses. Therefore, having robust DDoS protection solutions is essential to ensure service continuity and data integrity in optical environments.
