Real Time Demonstration of an End-to-End Optical Datacenter Network with Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation

We demonstrate combined operation of a scalable optical data-plane architecture with an SDN overlay capable of slotted operation for dynamic allocation of network resources. Real-time end-to-end functionality is verified in a six-host prototype datacenter cluster.
