Real-time software-defined dynamic resource allocation using OpenFlow for next-generation OFDM-based optical access networks

We demonstrate the first software-defined dynamic resource allocation of OFDM subcarriers and modulation formats using the OpenFlow protocol and real-time DSP. Dynamic resource allocation for HD video and text is achieved for 20km SSMF transmission.
