Additionally, we will show ONOS’s capabilities as an enabler for cross-layer optimization, and applications on the northbound to control the forwarding planes at both the packet and optical layers. 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.) This part is not very clear.MLPCE).  Through applications such as MLPCE  a much more optimized network solutions can be achieved in near real time. 

With Converged Control Plane, we hope to reduce cycle time to add capacity perhaps in minutes instead of days to a month. ONOS has the 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, ONOS can reconfigure the optical transport layer for best alternative re-route. With this approach, we are reducing the over-provisioning of resources, since transport layer is cheapest infrastructure to move bits. Finally, with enhanced converged control plane, we could potentially enable new services. Examples include network graph observability and real-time injection of network policies.

This will open the ONOS-GUI in a tab in you default browser. You can press z to get the split view of packet and optical plane and press h to see hosts (for more options press /). note: using convention of bold font for user keystrokes

As you can see that there are no host discovered by ONOS. This is due to the fact that ONOS only discovers a host when there is traffic from the host. So let's generate traffic from all hosts.
