  • Abstract
    OpenFlow & Software Defined Networking (SDN) ideas offer drastically reduced complexity in the control plane, increased programmability and extensibility, and a gradual adoption path; all significant advantages over GMPLS for dynamic interaction between packet and circuit networks.
