Abstract :
Emerging cloud applications such as real-time data backup, remote desktop, server clustering, etc. require not only more traffic being delivered between datacenters, but also dedicated and application-specific virtual optical network (VON) services to support each application´s QoS and SLA level. On the other hand, another requirement is to support end-to-end network service provisioning across multiple VONs comprising different transport (e.g. Flexi-grid DWDM OCS, OPS, etc) and control plane technologies (e.g., centralized OpenFlow or distributed GMPLS). This paper presents the preliminary architecture of the network virtualization, control and orchestration layers proposed in the STRAUSS project.
