Integration and Control of Heterogeneous Telecom and Data Center Optical Networks Aided by FBD and TAPI for Enhancing Large-scale Optical Path Services and Network Resiliency

A common approach to facilitate the integration/control of disaggregate/legacy optical networks is developed with the aid of a functional block-based disaggregation (FBD) model and TAPI. Integration/control of heterogeneous Telecom and Data Center optical network resources, models, and APIs are demonstrated with a disaster recovery scenario.
