Experimental Demonstration of Network Automation based on QoT Estimation and Monitoring in both Single- and Multi-Domains

We experimentally demonstrate the integration of 100-200Gb/s data plane with NETCONF agents, SDN-controllers, and management plane exploiting monitoring and QoT estimations. We report on successful experiments for provisioning and reliability in single- and multi-domains.
