ABSTRACT:
A system (125) performs network management in a quantum cryptographic network (115). The system (125) monitors parameters associated with multiple links and multiple nodes of the quantum cryptographic network (115). The system (125) manages the multiple links and multiple nodes of the quantum cryptographic network (115) based on the monitored parameters.
