Two-Level Abstraction Approach for SDN-based Service Provisioning in Open Line Systems Featuring TAPI Externalized Path Computation

Co-employment of node level and component level model is essential to achieve both SDN controller scalability and accurate path computation for functional block-based disaggregation networks. A proposed control system is proto typed and optical path provisioning within 30 seconds is demonstrated on an optical network testbed.
