Abstract:
Creating Optical Virtual Private Networks (OVPNs) over existing deployments is becoming an operator concern. This paper describes the first hybrid SDN/GMPLS implementation addressing this problem and demonstrates, through an emulated testbed, that the system is responsive and provides OVPN-specific restoration.
