Proof-of-Concept Validation of SDN-Controlled VCSELbased S-BVTs in Flexi-Grid Optical Metro Networks

We model via YANG an adaptive, modular and programmable VCSEL-based S-BVT for optical flexi-grid metro networks. Discussion and experimental validation of the PCECC T-SDN controller interfaces for automatic provisioning of flexi-grid connections are provided.Grant numbers : DESTELLO - Dynamic flexible orchestration of data centers and programmable elastic optical networks and systems (TEC2015-69256-R). © 2019 IEEE.
