Carrier network service infrastructures are becoming increasingly complex since thousands of service-specific hardware-based network nodes are implemented to support a wide variety of network services. this has resulted in critically high increases in the maintenance costs to ensure service quality for network services and the deployment costs for new network services. Addressing these problems requires new ways to simplify and automate operations and infrastructures. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN)/OpenFlow are attractive concepts that address these problems. In this study we present the requirements and a basic design of a flexible and elastic network service infrastructure with NFV and SDN/OpenFlow. We also introduce a virtual BRAS (Broadband Remote Access Server) prototype using Intel DPDK as high performance throughputs.

Network virtualization technologies combined with Software-Defined networking (SDN) principles provide a number of benefits to optical networks in terms of agility and ease of management. However, the multi-layer nature of optical systems poses challenges to system design. In this paper, we present topology virtualization models for optical connectivity service providers using an SDN-enabled flexible optical network. the virtual optical network topology will be advertised to clients of the service provider. Scheduled as well as on-demand lightpath services can be provisioned via Application Programming Interfaces (API), either based on the prominent OpenFlow [1] protocol, or via IETF-based protocols centered on an active stateful PCE (Path Computation Element) [2][3]. We discuss and compare different topology virtualization models along withtheir benefits and challenges. In addition, first evaluation results, based on an optical Network Hypervisor at the service provider and OpenDaylight [4], an open-source SDN controller, as the client controller, are discussed.

this paper proposes a novel Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) architecture called Multi-hEad sub-wavElength swiTching (MEET). Compared withthe current architectures, MEET proposes to aggregate traffic using passive optical nodes instead of using electrical nodes (switches and routers). Several options regarding a potential control plane are compared in terms of resource allocation efficiency. Two options are relative to the burst assembly process whereas another option is relative to the dynamicity of the resource allocation process. Performance evaluation is carried out using a simulation platform fed by real traffic traces captured on a French operator's metropolitan network the QoS delivered to three different classes of service has been assessed in terms of latency and jitter. Obtained results show that a control plane that does not adapt to short-term variations of the real traffic may provide QoS levels compatible with an operational MAN.

We propose a novel routing and spectrum assignment algorithm that reserves exclusive spectrum area for high bitrate signals. the aim of this study is to reduce the inherent blocking ratio inequality caused by the non-uniform bandwidth allocation in flexible grid/semi-flexible grid optical path networks. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our proposed assignment strategy can reduce the path setup blocking ratio for both flexible grid and semi-flexible grid networks. the traffic volume accommodated by the network can be improved by 10%. the effectiveness of our proposal is verified for various bitrate signal patterns and network topologies.

A major concern among network providers is to endow their networks withthe ability to withstand and recover from failures. In recent years, there is a trend in network research referred to as Network Coding Protection (NCP). NCP combines the use of network coding techniques with a proactive protection scheme withthe aim of improving network reliability. Although today's network backbone is a multi-layer network formed by the convergence of IP/MPLS and optical technologies, the information available in the literature related to the performance of NCP schemes in multi-layer network scenarios is yet scarce. In this paper, we propose a novel NCP scheme referred to as DPNC+. the novelty of DPNC+ is that it exploits cross-layer information in order to improve the reliability of multi-layer (IP/MPLS over optical) networks against link failures. Our evaluation results show that reduction up to 50% related to protection cost can be obtained when using the proposed scheme compared to conventional proactive protection techniques.

In bandwidth abundant optical networks it is important to develop design strategies that are not only cost effective but also able to account for the inherent characteristics of the optical transmission medium responsible for the signal quality degradation. Withthis objective in mind, the paper proposes a design algorithm able to determine an appropriate placement of regenerators in Grouped Routing Entity (GRE)-based optical networks. the objective of the algorithm is to guarantee a certain signal quality level to all connections while minimizing the number of fibers and switching ports required in the network the proposed design strategy relies on a physical-layer impairment model, specifically introduced in the paper for this purpose, able to estimate the signal quality of an optical path in a GRE-based optical network Simulation results indicate that compared with a single layer optical path network the proposed design algorithm can reduce at least 87% of the switch ports while the increment in the number of fibers is lower than 10%.
