Towards a carrier SDN: an example for elastic inter-datacenter connectivity

We propose a network-driven transfer mode for cloud operations in a step towards a carrier SDN. Inter-datacenter connectivity is requested in terms of volume of data and completion time. The SDN controller translates and forwards requests to an ABNO controller in charge of a flexgrid network.
