Abstract
A multidomain and multitechnology optical network orchestration is demonstrated in an international testbed located in Japan, the U.K., and Spain. The application-based network operations architecture is proposed as a carrier software-defined network solution for provisioning end-to-end optical transport services through a multidomain multitechnology network scenario, consisting of a 46-108 Gb/s variable-capacity OpenFlow-capable optical packet switching network and a programmable, flexi-grid elastic optical path network.
