Abstract
New emerging applications are bringing to telecom operators new optical infrastructure challenges to be faced. Thus, we introduce a novel paradigm being studied under the FP7 GEYSERS project, based on optical resource abstraction mechanisms that aims at decoupling the physical infrastructure (optical and IT) from its virtual instance(s) and the Network Control Plane technologies that operate them.
