This environment can be used by the architects and developers to demonstrate feasibility of applications such as a multilayer PCE which it’s basics for demonstrating benefits of converged networks.
With Converged Control Plane we hope to reduce cycle time to Add capacity perhaps in minutes instead of days or month. ONOS ability to add capacity based on traffic demand in real or near real time. In addition when failure happens, instead of using the packet layer resources for recovery controller could reconfigure the optical transport layer for best alternative re-route. With this approach we are reducing over-provisioning of resources, since transport layer is cheapest infrastructure to move bits.In addition with enhanced converged control plane we could potentially enable new services. Such as Network graph Observability and real time injection of network policies
Prerequisite
You will need a computer with at least 8GB of RAM such that you can dedicate 4 Gig to your packet-optical VM and at least 5GB of free hard disk space. A faster processor or solid-state drive will speed up the virtual machine boot time, and a larger screen will help to manage multiple terminal windows.
