Highlights:
- Presents a design framework for SDN-based control of high-capacity optical networks using MB + SDM technologies.
- Covers development of data models, northbound/southbound interfaces, disaggregated nodes, and physical-layer impairment aware path computation.
- Demonstrates a prototype SDN controller managing flexigrid DWDM over SDM core switching, with extensions for transport API and multilevel control.
