“…A prototype of the optical white box has been built with only a optical backplane sliver consisting of a 192 × 192 optical space switch. Experiments have indicated that the creation of a virtual switching node with the OpenDayLight SDN controller takes roughly 400 ms. e) GPON Virtual Switch: Lee et al [174] have developed a GPON virtual switch design that makes the GPON fully programmable similar to a conventional OpenFlow switch. Preliminary steps towards the GPON virtual switch design have been taken by Gu et al [175] who developed components for SDN control of a PON in a data center and Amokrane et al [176], [177] who developed a module for mapping OpenFlow flow control requests into PON configuration commands.…”

Lee et al [174] have expanded on this groundwork to abstract the entire GPON into a virtual OpenFlow switch. More specifically, Lee et al have comprehensively designed a hardware architecture and a software architecture to allow SDN control to interface with the virtual GPON as if it were a standard OpenFlow switch.…”

The emerging Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm separates the data plane from the control plane and centralizes network control in an SDN controller. Applications interact with controllers to implement network services, such as network transport with Quality of Service (QoS). SDN facilitates the virtualization of network functions so that multiple virtual networks can operate over a given installed physical network infrastructure. Due to the specific characteristics of optical (photonic) communication components and the high optical transmission capacities, SDN based optical networking poses particular challenges, but holds also great potential. In this article, we comprehensively survey studies that examine the SDN paradigm in optical networks; in brief, we survey the area of Software Defined Optical Networks (SDONs). We mainly organize the SDON studies into studies focused on the infrastructure layer, the control layer, and the application layer. Moreover, we cover SDON studies focused on network virtualization, as well as SDON studies focused on the orchestration of multilayer and multidomain networking. Based on the survey, we identify open challenges for SDONs and outline future directions

“…Many successful efforts have used SDN to improve access network performance [5]- [8]. Reference [9] presented an architectural design and system implementation for a GPON based OpenFlow -enabled SDN virtual switch. By combining the DBA and bandwidth control of the add-on OpenFlow switch, their virtual switch can control bandwidth usage accurately and dynamically.…”

As the increasing number of access devices, and the complex and changeful of access site and the media, energy consumption of power distribution communication access networks is expected to further grow in the future, energy saving has become a key issue with the development of Passive Optical Networks (PONs). In this paper, we propose a Software Defined Distribution Optical Network (SD-DON) architecture, design an energy saving aware control strategy which support unified optimization and efficient scheduling from multi-domain perspective. Additionally, a Multi-Modes Hybrid Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (MH-DBA) scheme are proposed and evaluated under SD-DON, in which, 4-saving modes and multi-period mixed adaptive dormancy method is designed to maximize energy saving of Optical Network Units (ONUs). Simulation results show that MH-DBA can significantly save energy under different traffic loads, and clearly outperform the conventional scheme.

“…Software defined networking (SDN) abstraction and separation of the control and data planes improves the efficiency of networks, allowing a better control of network traffic, management automation and scalability, leading to reduction of operating and hardware costs [1]. The integration of SDN in passive optical networks (PONs) is gaining momentum, as demonstrated by proposals to embed an OpenFlow agent in the optical line terminal (OLT) of a GPON, which communicates with an external OpenFlow controller [2,3], the development of modules to map OpenFlow messages to PON configuration commands [4], or the definition of OpenFlow extensions for GPON systems [5]. In this paper, we present an OpenFlow-based solution, validated in a testbed, to ensure fulfilment of QoS requirements in GPON.…”
