Saurav Das, Guru M. Parulkar, Nick McKeown, Preeti Singh, Daniel Getachew, Lyndon Y. Ong · Optical Fiber Communication Conference · 2010
IP and Transport networks are controlled and operated independently today, leading to significant Capex and Opex inefficiencies for the providers. We discuss a unified approach with OpenFlow, and present a recent demonstration of a unified control plane for OpenFlow enabled IP/Ethernet and TDM switched networks.
