Telemetry-enabled Cloud-native Transport SDN Controller for Real-time Monitoring of Optical Transponders Using gNMI

This paper presents novel extensions for Cloud-native SDN controller for partially disaggregated optical networks that allow real-time monitoring of optical transponders. New SDN controller components are presented, as well as overall architecture. Evaluation is performed with gNMI enabled OpenConfig transceivers.Grant numbers : AURORAS - Autonomic and disaggregated optical networks leveraging edge computing and photonic technologies (RTI2018-099178-B-I00)
