1. A method of OSNR-sensing spectrum allocation with optical channel performance guarantee, comprising the steps of:
S1: constructing an OSNR evaluation model to evaluate signal transmission quality of a lightpath, the OSNR evaluation model including amplified spontaneous emission noise, nonlinear interference and filter narrowing effect due to ROADM cascading;
S2: sending a lightpath service request and acquiring the shortest path between a source node and a destination node;
S3: acquiring a plurality of modulation formats and corresponding thresholds, sorting the plurality of modulation formats according to their spectrum efficiencies in descending order, and obtaining a list of the sorted modulation formats;
S4: calculating the bandwidth required by the lightpath service based on the bandwidth demand and FEC overhead by using the modulation format with the highest spectrum efficiency;
S5: substituting the bandwidth required by the lightpath service into the OSNR evaluation model and obtaining the number of FS actually required by the service; and
S6: allocating the spectrum resource required by the current service to the shortest path by using a first-fit algorithm, and obtaining the center frequency of the current service on the lightpath.
