Abstract :
In this paper we present the Application-centric IP/Optical network concept pursued by the H2020 project ACINO, and how it could be applied as a future 5G transport network. While 5G concepts are still maturing we investigate the envisioned capabilities of a 5G network, the use-cases and the requirements different applications would have on a wired transport network for 5G. Our conclusion is that ACINO could fulfil the bandwidth, low-latency, security, and reliability requirements, in a way that differentiates between different 5G services.
