Experimental demonstration of centralized and distributed impairment-aware control plane schemes for dynamic transparent optical networks

We demonstrate and compare distributed and centralized impairment-aware control plane schemes for transparent optical networks with dynamic traffic. Experimental results show that distributed scheme yields one fifth of setup time required by previously reported alternatives.
