Abstract :
This paper reviews the progress of flexible and robust technologies for a reliable optical network infrastructure that can be used for software defined networking (SDN) and network virtualization. We focus on the elastic optical network (EON), which will play an important role in achieving both flexibility and robustness, and introduce our current works on fault tolerance.
