First demonstration of SDN-controlled Multi-Layer Restoration and its advantage over Optical Restoration

We demonstrate a full implementation of centrally orchestrated multi-layer restoration over commercial optical and IP gear. The process considers the behavior of the IP layer. Compared to optical restoration, the packet loss is 54% lower.
