We develop and present a generalization of the GN-model - the generalized Gaussian noise (GGN) model - to enabling a fair application of GN-model to predict generation of nonlinear interference when loss parameters relevantly vary with frequency and/or distributed amplification applies selectively to portions of the exploited spectrum and/or stimulated-Raman-scattering-induced crosstalk is relevant.
