Service Provider Networks are complex and multi-layer in nature. Without converged packet Optical SDN capability, Provisioning and adding bandwidth requires order of days if not months. Today, Provisioning and adding bandwidth requires order of days if not months. Since packet and optical networks are managed independently, each one of them has to be over provisioned to deal with traffic anomalies and failures. This leads to lack of service agility and is a significant source of CAPEX and OPEX overhead for the network operator.

This Tutorial is about how SDN controller such as ONOS can help address the challenges of managing multilayer service provider networks.   They  We will demonstrate show an emulated environment for converged control of packet and optical networks for wide area network, and how it will truly enable service providers to make these networks much more efficient .  They will show how a converged SDN Control plane for packet and optical networks can help address many network in-efficiencies.This traffic management practices.  Therefore, this tutorial represents  a sample  demo on how converged packet-optical networks, can be controlled by ONOS.

In this Tutorial, We are going to show and ONOS’s capabilities as an enabler for cross layer optimization and applications on the northbound to control the forwarding planes at both packet and optical layer. This  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.
