Two types of PODTs are described. The first, referred to as a Network Performance Digital Twin (NPDT), produces performance estimates (delay, jitter, loss) for a packet network with a specified topology, traffic demand, and routing and scheduling configuration. The second, referred to as an Optical Performance Digital Twin (OPDT), produces transmission performance estimates of an optical network with specified optical service topologies and network equipment types, topology and status. This draft also discusses interfaces to these digital twins, how these digital twins relate to existing control plane elements, and describes use cases for these digital twins, as well as possible implementation options.}, }
