Abstract :
Software define network, which has good potential for packet-switched IP network, is currently not available on circuit-switched transport network. This paper introduces the concept of software define optical network that applies SDN-like features to optical transport network, and reviews key enabling technologies at various layers, such as variable transponder, flexible switching node, control applications, and open interface with circuit extension.
