Key Highlights:
- Introduces OpenSDK, a vendor-agnostic microservice toolkit designed to enable optical network disaggregation.
- Removes dependency on standard southbound interfaces from SDN controllers, promoting flexibility and multi-vendor interoperability.
- Demonstrated through smart orchestration on an IP-over-WDM whitebox, showcasing real-world applicability.
This work stands as a milestone in bringing modularity, openness, and agility to the future of optical infrastructure.
