  • Abstract
    A new flexible networking infrastructure able to provide on-demand services and functionalities is proposed. The benefits of the proposed approach in terms of scalability, resiliency and the flexibility to provide various levels of bandwidth virtualisation and arbitrary topology implementation are discussed in the paper.
