DRL-Based Network Orchestration to Realize Cooperative, Distributed and Tenant-Driven Virtual Network Slicing

We propose a cooperative, distributed and tenant-driven framework for realizing virtual network embedding (VNE) in optical datacenter interconnections (O-DCIs), by leveraging a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) module.
