We experimentally assess it by means of a control closed-loop involving ADONIS, a Software Defined Network controller, a Monitoring and Data Analytics system, and a novel reconfiguration tool, SMART-A.The research leading to these results has received funding from the EC through the METRO-HAUL (G.A. nº 761727).Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Demonstration of latency-aware 5G network slicing on optical metro networks

The H2020 METRO-HAUL European project has architected a latency-aware, cost-effective, agile, and programmable optical metro network. This includes the design of semi-disaggregated metro nodes with compute and storage capabilities, which interface effectively with both 5G access and multi-Tbit/s elastic optical networks in the core. In this paper, we report the automated deployment of 5G services, in particular, a public safety video surveillance use case employing low-latency object detection and tracking using on-camera and on-the-edge analytics. The demonstration features flexible deployment of network slice instances, implemented in terms of ETSI NFV Network Services. We summarize the key findings in a detailed analysis of end-to-end quality of service, service setup time, and soft-failure detection time. The results show that the round-trip-time over an 80 km link is under 800 µs and the service deployment time under 180 seconds.Horizon 2020 Framework Programme (761727); Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (16KIS0979K).Peer ReviewedArticle signat per 25 autors/es: B.

Design and assessment of FM-MCFs-suited SDM-ROADMs with versatile spatial group configurations and unified QoT estimator

In this article, we focus on the design of different node architectures suitable for few-mode multi-core fibers (FMMCFs) based networks. Both dimensions, core and mode, open different possible ways to group spatial channels depending on the physical impairments of the space-division multiplexed (SDM) optical fibers. Moreover, the channel switching across a group of cores/modes at once and the end-to-end routing are not only mandatory aspects for certain spatial channels, but also recommendable in order to reduce the node complexity/cost. Thus, we propose various SDM-capable node architectures based on versatile and homogeneous spatial group configurations. Then, a unified physical-layer-aware Quality of Transmission (QoT) estimator is formulated to not only evaluate these node architectures in a simulation tool, but also validate them in a real experimental environment using a stateful path computation element (PCE) as a central controller. The obtained results disclose that the cost-efficient node design parameter, namely, the size of the spatial group G, depends on both the network and traffic profile size. Specifically, for a national optical backbone network equipped with a homogeneous and hexagonally arranged 6-weakly-coupled modes and 7-weakly-coupled cores fibers, G equals 6, while for a continental backbone network, G can raise up to 14. In any case, we demonstrate that the cost-benefit tradeoff in node design must be analyzed in detail in order to meet the huge traffic volumes of the next years.This work was supported by the Spanish Project AURORAS under Grant RTI2018-099178-B-I00.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

The dichotomy of distributed and centralized control: METRO-HAUL, when control planes collide for 5G networks

Automating the provisioning of 5G services, deployed over a heterogeneous infrastructure (in terms of domains, technologies, and management platforms), remains a complex task, yet driven by the constant need to provide end-to-end connections at network slices at reducing costs and service deployment time. At the same time, such services are increasingly conceived around interconnected functions and require allocation of computing, storage, and networking resources. The METRO-HAUL 5G research initiative acknowledges the need for automation and strives to develop an orchestration platform for services and resources that extends, integrates, and builds on top of existing approaches, macroscopically adopting Transport Software Defined Networking principles, and leveraging the programmability and open control of Transport SDN.Peer Reviewe
