Abstract

The service oriented optical network is a project committed to introduce the concept of service virtualization in optical metro/core networks, by improving the automatic switched transport network (ASTN) architecture thanks to the introduction of an extra functional layer, namely service plane, designed according to the ITU-T intelligent network conceptual model. An implementation of the service plane is presented highlighting the software architecture and the technology details. In particular it is applied to a testbed that implement a VPN topology request from a client application.
