We are pleased to feature a significant tutorial by Allegro EU contributors at OFC 2024:
R. Casellas, R. Martinez, R. Vilalta, and R. Muñoz,
“SDN Control of Multi-Band Over SDM Optical Networks With Physical Layer Impairments”, Tutorial W1C.1.
🔗 Access the tutorial details here: https://doi.org/10.1364/OFC.2024.W1C.1
Tutorial Highlights:
- Presents comprehensive design strategies for SDN-based control of multi-band, spatial-division-multiplexed (MBoSDM) optical networks.
- Covers essential features like model-driven development, standardized interfaces (northbound & southbound), and protocols for fully or partially disaggregated architectures.
- Tackles advanced aspects such as modeling physical-layer impairments, separating path computation/validation from data-plane functions, and orchestrating multi-level control across dynamically switched spatial channels.
This tutorial serves as a foundational resource for implementing intelligent, scalable SDN solutions in complex, high-capacity optical transport networks.
