Enabling Network Slicing Across a Disaggregated Optical Transport Network

We propose and implement a network virtualization architecture for open optical (partially) disaggregated networks, based on a device hypervisor and OpenConfig and OpenROADM data models, in support of 5G network slicing over interconnected NFVI-PoPs

ONOS-Controlled Disaggregated Optical Networks

State-of-art, potentials and limitations of the ONOS controller applied to disaggregated optical networks are reported. Focus is on the on-going ODTN project. Results of experimental demonstrations are reported to prove the feasibility of proposed approach

First Demonstration of MANTRA IPoWDM Convergent SDN Architecture using SONiC White Box and 400ZR/ZR+ Pluggables

In this work, the MANTRA (Metaverse ready Architectures for Open Transport) "Single"IP over Wavelength Division Multiplexing (IPoWDM) architecture is implemented and experimentally demonstrated in a network testbed employing three SDN Controllers (IP, Optical and Hierarchical) and Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) white box equipped with 400ZR and 400ZR+ coherent pluggable transceivers

Coordinating Pluggable Transceiver Control in SONiC-based Disaggregated Packet-Optical Networks

Effective control of pluggable transceivers in SONiC-based packet-optical nodes is demonstrated. A workflow for multi-layer recovery upon soft failure detection is validated, showing no traffic disruption and fast node-driven coordination between packet and optical operations

Multi-partner Demonstration of BGPLS enabled multi-domain EON control and instantiation with H-PCE

The control of multidomain elastic optical networks (EONs) is possible by combining Hierarchical Path Computation Element (H-PCE)-based computation, Border Gateway Protocol with Extensions for Traffic Engineering Link State Information (BGP-LS) topology discovery, remote instantiation via Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP), and signaling via Resource Reservation Protocol with Extensions for Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE). Two evolutionary architectures are considered, one based on stateless H-PCE, PCEP instantiation, and end-to-end RSVP-TE signaling (SL-E2E), and a second one based on stateful active H-PCE with per-domain instantiation and stitching. This paper presents the first multiplatform demonstration that fully validates both control architectures achieving multiprotocol interoperability. SL-E2E leads to slightly faster provisioning but needs to keep the state of the stitching of the end-to-end label-switched paths in the parent PCE

Modular Control Plane Implementation for Disaggregated Optical Transport Networks with Multi-band Support

This demo paper presents the B5G-OPEN control plane modular architecture designed to enable dynamic control of multi-band disaggregated optical networks through open-source software and standard interfaces. Such control plane will be demonstrated in a distributed testbed including real IPoWDM nodes, ROADMs and transponders

ODTN: Open Disaggregated Transport Network. Discovery and Control of a Disaggregated Optical Network through Open Source Software and Open APIs

ONOS discovers and manages a topology made of Transponders and a dedicated OLS, using standard protocols (NETCONF/RESTCONF) and models (OpenConfig/TAPI). The demo is a joint collaboration, towards production deployment, between 3 operators and 2 equipment vendors

Automated End to End Carrier Ethernet Provisioning over a Disaggregated WDM Metro Network with a Hierarchical SDN Control and Monitoring Platform

This demo shows how a hierarchical control plane of ONOS SDN controllers orchestrates the dynamic provisioning of end-to-end Carrier Ethernet circuits on a composite network, programming the whole data path from the CPE to the core optical equipment

Blow up criterion for compressible nematic liquid crystal flows in dimension three

In this paper, we consider the short time strong solution to a simplified hydrodynamic flow modeling the compressible, nematic liquid crystal materials in dimension three. We establish a criterion for possible breakdown of such solutions at finite time in terms of the temporal integral of both the maximum norm of the deformation tensor of velocity gradient and the square of maximum norm of gradient of liquid crystal director field.Comment: 22 page
