Abstract :
Hybrid GMPLS-OpenFlow and novel Extended OpenFlow approaches are presented and experimentally evaluated on a converged packet and circuit switching setup. Extended OpenFlow agents, controllers and network application are developed & their performance evaluated on commercial ROADMs for the first time.
