Abstract

We demonstrated an SDN-enabled optical DCN leveraging AoD, OPS, FPGA-based ToR with extended OpenDayLight controller and extended OF protocol. Experimental results show application-aware OCS/OPS connection provisioning (753/214ms), OPS end-to-end connections latency (252μs), and OCS/OPS switchover.
