Abstract
We propose a flexible and resilient SDN-controlled hybrid optical/electrical intra-DCN architecture employing low-cost distributed optical switches. Significant delay reduction as well as automatic flow path setup and restoration are demonstrated using real-time traffic over an experimental OpenFlow-based testbed.
