Multi-layer Transport Network Slicing with Hard and Soft Isolation

2021 Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC2021)
We validate the deployment of isolated transport network slices in IP over DWDM network. To this end, an isolated transport network slice is deployed using multi-layer isolation mechanisms based on OpenConfig and ONF Transport API.

Demo paper: Scalable Architecture for Cloud-native Transport SDN Controller Using GNPy and Machine Learning techniques for QoT estimation

2021 Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC2021)
This demo shows a cloud-native SDN controller that can estimate end-to-end QoT using both analytical (GNPy) and machine learning algorithms on WDM systems. This transport SDN controller is able to scale horizontally using custom metrics.

Blockchain-Based Connectivity Provisioning in Multiple Transport SDN Domains

2021 International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling (ONDM2021)
Hierarchical Software Define Networking (SDN) architectures is used to manage the co-existence of multiple domains by having an element on top. A collaborative relation-ship between domains, might solve this issue. Blockchain may become the key element for this change to happen.
