Dynamic Controller Deployment for Mixed-Grid Optical Networks

Co-existing fixed-grid and flex-grid (i.e., mixed-grid) optical networks introduce new challenges for network orchestration. Such mixed-grid networks are often controlled by hierarchical distributed architecture comprising of Optical Network Controllers and Software-Defined Network Controllers. Optimal deployment of these controllers is very important for efficient management of mixed-grid optical networks.
