Experimental report of Elastic Lambda Aggregation Network (EλAN) control method for SDN-based Carrier Class Network

The unified control of core / metro / access networks using Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is effective for providing services flexibly. In this paper, experimental results of the unified control by hierarchized Controller utilizing OpenFlow protocol and abstracted network are presented.
