Abstract :
Software-defined optical transceivers, a fully programmable optical express layer, and control plane-assisted network automation are key constituents of a new generation of optical core networks. This paper explains enabling technologies, reviews emerging applications, and discusses new questions arising for network design and modeling. It also examines the integration of the optical wavelength with the OTN and MPLS layers.
