Perpendicular multi-layer architecture among multi-domain software defined optical networks

A perpendicular multi-layer (PML) architecture with multiple controllers and a dynamic orchestra plane (DOP) for multi-domain software defined optical networks is proposed in this paper. Cross-domain services with on-demand bandwidth can be deployed via unified interfaces provided by DOP. Practical capture of signal processing and emulation results are presented.
