The realization of low-latency mobile edge services is expected to be realized by placing edge sites closer to users and shortening the transmission distance from user terminals. This requires construction of Radio Access Network (RAN), Core Network (CN) and a physical/logical network. In order to provide on-demand Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) service tailored to the user's demands, these should be constructed quickly without service interruption. In this paper, we propose a network control method that works in combination with an existing network protocol running on a simple optical network that simplifies optical path construction in the End-to-End section.
