This demo presents an SDN-based control framework for integrating Quantum Key Distri- bution (QKD) with classical optical networks. It addresses limitations of existing standards, enabling efficient and secure integration of QKD into communication networks. The framework advances the practical deployment of QKD technology in real-world scenarios.
