Abstract :
We present a new OpenFlow control architecture, referred to as Optical FlowBroker, for multi-domain software-defined optical networks. The hierarchical brokers improve scalability and inter-domain global coordination, while allowing domain controllers to manage intra-domain forwarding decisions.
