Demonstration of OpenFlow-enabled traffic and network adaptive transport SDN

We experimentally demonstrate the first OpenFlow-enabled transport SDN that performs multi-flow switching by cross-layer optimization and configuring all major hardware elements, including adaptive EDFA-Raman amplifiers, multi-degree superchannel transponders, and flexible grid switching nodes.
