First demonstration of SDN-controlled SBVT based on multi-wavelength source with programmable and asymmetric channel spacing

We propose an SBVT based on programmable multi-wavelength source with asymmetric channel spacing. SBVT, controlled by extended SDN, supporting 480 Gb/s super-channel and up to three sliceable optical flows is demonstrated in a network testbed.
