Abstract :
This paper proposes an architecture to classify traffic flows of IP access networks, and signalize to hybrid optical network the most appropriate paradigm, Optical Circuit Switching (OCS) and Optical Burst Switching (OBS), to be used. The concept of software defined networks, more specifically the OpenFlow technology, was used to enable the architecture. Furthermore, a performance evaluation and feasibility of the proposed architecture are presented through experiments.
